bout their experience on being bullied or watching someone being bullied, and additional measures of anxiety and trauma.
The study suggested that while bullying was directly linked to trauma and anxiety, it was indirectly linked to cortisol levels.
'This confirms our theory that while exposure to a one-time or very rare bullying episode might cause higher cortisol levels, exposure to bullying on a chronic basis would be associated with hypocortisol levels,' said Carney and her colleague Richard Hazler, who recently presented their findings at the American Counseling Association Convention in Detroit.
'All of a sudden depression was not simply a psychological phenomenon, but it also has a physical aspect with potential medication treatments to support counseling,' they noted.
