Youths at risk of ADHD, depression more likely to be bullied

Children who were most likely to develop attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and depression had increased odds of being bullied, UK researchers reported in JAMA Psychiatry. The findings, based on data involving 5,028 youths in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children born between 1991 and 1992, also showed a higher likelihood of bullying exposure among those with elevated body mass index, but not those who were more likely to develop autism, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder or neuroticism.  Newsweek
