Abstract

BACKGROUND: This study aims to determine whether there is a difference in terms of traditional/cyberbullying or victimization among adolescents receiving methylphenidate for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and treatment-naïve adolescents with ADHD during the last one-year period.

METHODS: The Sociodemographic Data Form, Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Aged Children (Present and Lifetime Version), Peer Bullying Scale Adolescent Form and Cyberbully/Victim Scale are applied to male adolescents with ADHD.

RESULTS: Adolescents who did not receive methylphenidate during the last one-year period were exposed to higher rates of physical victimization, isolation, destroying of property by others and sexual victimization, all of which are subtypes of traditional victimization, and they also reported higher rates of destroying others' property. Furthermore, cyberbullying victimization and cyberbullying behaviors were more common among the non-treated group.

CONCLUSION: Effective treatment of ADHD could lessen involvement in the bullying cycle for ADHD adolescents.
