ICD-Code F93.3: Sibling rivalry disorder
Rejection of one or more siblings.
In some cases, a child may reject one or more of their siblings. The child may have feelings of anger or jealousy, for example. This reaction can be normal in children after the birth of a younger sibling. In some cases, however, the rejection is particularly strong or persists over an unusually long period of time.
