Bullying is a significant problem across all age spans. Bully-type behavior can range from the simplest playground skirmishes to sophisticated misinterpretation or dismissal of personal responsibility toward protecting humankind. Callous-unemotional traits primarily consist of a lack of empathy or guilt, which could be caused by a variety of developmental disability, environmental factors such as unmet needs, and other inherited conduct problems. According to the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-5 diagnostic manual, bullying is a diagnostic criterion for Conduct Disorder for children and teens, and according to research, if left untreated, it may emerge later as psychopathy in adults. Therefore, bullying is a mental health concern that should be taken seriously by healthcare professionals at every stage of development. -Dr. Stewart
