Let me preface this by saying that I take Prozac for situational depression. The situation doesn’t exist anymore but the feelings were so bad that I continue to take the Prozac. I don’t want to quit and find out that the horrible way I felt was just coincidental to the situation that I blamed it ...read more

The way 99.9% of life insurance companies treat people with bipolar disorder drives me nuts. I’m not talking about an insurance company that fully underwrites an application and finds out something really sketchy in a person’s history. What slays me is agents that won’t even let you go beyond your admission of bipolar disorder without ...read more

I have decided to completely reverse my feeling about online mega agencies such as Selectquote and Accuquote. I have repeatedly inferred that they are the scum of the life insurance industry, that volume of business is more important than customer service, and that their appetite for signing contracts for the largest compensation deals is decidedly ...read more

If it isn’t crystal clear by now, it should be. People applying for life insurance with a current or past history of well controlled depression, anxiety, ADD, ADHD, bipolar disorder and other mood disorders are being abusively rated or declined by most life insurance companies. My contention is , in spite of the statistics, is ...read more

I suspect that two things will stay very much the same in 2012. Politics will attempt to suffocate us all and I will be able to reach growing numbers of those with bipolar disorder in the their quest to be treated fairly in acquiring life insurance. Since starting my work with those diagnosed with bipolar ...read more

I think it’s happened to all of us at one point or another. We go to a doctor or a counselor and they come up with a diagnosis that is so far out of context that you can’t understand how they got from point A to B. There is a very natural tendency, especially if ...read more

Declined anything is a personal hit kind of feeling. I remember once being declined for a credit card. I think I may be the only guy in the country that has ever been declined for a credit card. It kind of hurt my feelings. They offered it and then they declined it. What’s with that? ...read more

It’s 2011 for a little while longer and it seems that only a few life insurance companies have caught on to the fact that life in our great country is a little more stressful than it used to be. You don’t need to look any further than the CDC (Center for Disease Control) to find ...read more

Ok, so occasionally I’m like a broken record (dated myself on that one) and can’t quite let go of an injustice. My Mom thinks that’s a good thing and my wife says as long as it doesn’t affect my blood pressure she’s good with it…so here I go again. Well controlled mood disorders are not ...read more

Gosh. It’s been a while since I’ve talked about bipolar disorder life insurance and the continued success we are having placing reasonably priced life insurance for bipolar and the whole gamut of mood disorders. Since it has been a while let’s review the basic criteria for placing a bipolar case successfully and with affordable premiums. ...read more
