Abstract

Purpose of review: Bullying is a common adversity affecting many children and adolescents. It has been shown to negatively impact the psychological well being not only of targets of bullying, but also that of bullying perpetrators and those witnessing bullying. Bullying is linked to depression and poorer mental health and functioning among children and adolescents. Given the high prevalence of bullying among children and adolescents and the negative mental health sequelae of bullying, this is an area of urgent public health concern. This narrative review brings forth recent research findings in this arena, which could help shape public health policies for addressing and preventing bullying.

Recent findings: Recent findings demonstrate an association of bullying among children and adolescents with depression, nonsuicidal self-injury, sleep loss, reduced health-related quality of life, poorer rates of graduation from high school and later mental health problems. A recent systematic review also showed an association of peer-victimization among children and adolescents with activation of amygdala, left parahippocampal gyrus and fusiform gyrus, and alterations in other brain areas.

Summary: Evidence indicates that bullying in childhood and adolescence is associated with higher odds of developing mental health problems; therefore, early identification and timely intervention is crucial.

欺凌对儿童和青少年的影响。

综述目的：欺凌是影响许多儿童和青少年的常见逆境。事实证明，它不仅会对欺凌目标的心理健康产生负面影响，还会对欺凌肇事者和目睹欺凌的人的心理健康造成负面影响。欺凌与儿童和青少年的抑郁、心理健康和功能较差有关。鉴于欺凌在儿童和青少年中的高流行率以及欺凌带来的负面心理健康后遗症，这是一个迫切需要公共卫生关注的领域。这篇叙述性综述介绍了这一领域的最新研究结果，这可能有助于制定解决和预防欺凌的公共卫生政策。最近的发现：最近的发现表明，儿童和青少年中的欺凌与抑郁症、非自杀性自伤、睡眠不足、健康相关的生活质量下降、高中毕业率下降以及后来的心理健康问题有关。最近的一项系统综述还显示，儿童和青少年的同伴伤害与杏仁核、左海马旁回和梭状回的激活以及其他大脑区域的改变有关。总结：有证据表明，儿童和青少年时期的欺凌与更高的心理健康问题发生几率有关；因此，早期识别和及时干预至关重要。
