Is it possible there is a mental health disorder linked to bullying?

Nonspecific: Bullying can be a final common pathway of behavior for a wide variety of reasons. There is no specific psychiatric diagnosis that matches bullying. Certainly things in such a person's history -- like being mistreated or abused at home -- may be a factor. But it's not an excuse, and bullying must be stopped. If the bully has been through trauma, s/he needs help as well as firm limit-setting.

Inferiority: Believe it or not, bullies tend to have inferiority complexes, often from having been bullied themselves. and yes, it can continue into adult life. Tell someone you know and trust about the bullying. Keeping it inside does no good.

Yes: Transference as well as inferior complex is a strong possibility usually bullies have been bullied themselves and to transfer that type of personality to another they see as weak, or venae. This is a cycle that can be stopped through behavior management/ counseling.
