Children With OCD Are Often The More Bullied Lot

The researchers from the University of Florida researchers have found that children with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are three times more likely to get bullied than other// children.

The researchers also explained that these children not only get bullied but that and the name slinging that gets associated with it often cause their condition and symptoms to get worse.

"One of the things we have noticed working with many kids with OCD is that peer relations are extremely impaired," said Eric Storch, PhD, a UF assistant professor of psychiatry and paediatrics and lead author of the study. "Kids target kids who are different. Kids with OCD sometimes exhibit behaviours that peers simply don't understand."

More than one-quarter of the children with OCD who researchers studied reported chronic bullying as a problem, according to findings described in the September issue of the Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology.

By comparison, only 9 percent of kids in the two other group’s researchers studied - healthy kids without medical or mental conditions and children with type 1 diabetes - reported serious problems with bullies.

Nearly all children are bullied at least once in their lives. But chronic bullying equates to about one taunt per day, ranging from kicking or hitting to name-calling or excluding children from activities in school.

"The kids with OCD are really experiencing higher rates of peer problems than other kids," Storch said. "We're not saying one causes the other, but there is a positive relationship between (OCD and bullying)."

About one in 100 children struggle with OCD, an anxiety disorder that leads people to engage in rituals such as hand washing to drive away obsessive thoughts about germs or other worries. Rituals often become so involved that they interfere with a person's ability to function, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. '"/>
