The bullying group had associations with anxiety, somatic symptoms, oppositionalism and behavior problems; the bully-victims group had associations with attention, oppositionalism and behavior problems; victims had higher anxiety scores.These differences were significant compared with the control group.
Conclusions:
Bullying is associated with psychopathology, which requires timely psychiatric attention.
