Description

In Tonic, Dr. Norman Swan leads a team of reporters who cover all aspects of health, from lifestyle to complementary medicines to the most recent medical discoveries. Topics covered in this episode include: *Part 2 of Our Anxiety Investigation-How It Affects Childhood and What's Being Done about It: Previously on Tonic, we started a three-part series on anxiety-an incredibly common psychological problem that often goes unrecognized and untreated. This week we look at the time in life when anxiety tends to begin, yet often goes detected-in childhood. We meet a young boy who suffers from anxiety and find out about the treatment that has helped him and his family deal with the condition. *Teeth-Whitening Products-Safe or Scary? There's no end to the things some of us will do to make ourselves look good, and we can be easily tempted into desiring a fresh set of pearly whites. Have you ever wondered what it is they put on your teeth to whiten them? Is it safe or plain scary?
