Is it true that cyberbullying victimization increases depression and anxiety in children?
Unclear. Multiple peer-reviewed studies and reviews associate cyberbullying victimization with depression and, in several cases, anxiety among children and adolescents, though most cover only one outcome or a narrow population. No single retrieved source settles the full causal claim for children across both depression and anxiety.
