Children with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Are Prime Targets for Bullies

In Peer Victimization in Children With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Relations With Symptoms of Psychopathology, published in the Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, vol. 35, No. 3, researchers find that children with OCD are almost three times more likely than normal children to be the victims of bullying. More than 25% of children with OCD report chronic bullying compared with only 9% of children in the study control groups. Further, the study found a clear link between the amount of bullying reported and the severity of the children's OCD.
