Interrelación entre el trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad y el acoso escolar

Bullying is a severe problem that has always existed; today it is a well-known and widespread phenomenon. Bullying involves negative actions of diverse types towards one or more victims, which can cause serious consequences, including emotional, academic and even long-term mental health problems. Regarding Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by hyperactivity, impulsiveness and attention deficit that can negatively affect the social relationships and academic performance of those who suffer from it. Young people who suffer from this disorder present symptoms that can lead them to be bullies due to their impulsive behaviors or to become targets of bullying for being perceived as "different." The combination of bullying and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder can have devastating consequences, potentially creating a very harmful cycle between both.
