Reply to comment by kneedeepco in Childhood body mass index is unlikely to have a big impact on children's mood or behavioural disorders by giuliomagnifico

How is it completely ignored? This study focused on links between BMI statistics and disorders like depression, anxiety, or ADHD. Wouldn't the effects of social issues (like bullying) be part of the diagnosis statistics, unless they explicitly isolated for it?

I think a lot of the effects of bullying translate into anxiety, depression and other disorders with a delay. I think they establish a baseline low esteem which in time can contribute to other mental health issues. In speculating.
