I was asked by my office manager this morning if bipolar disorder/manic depressive disorder was more prevalent in people around her age, in her 30’s, than people my age, in my 50’s, because the majority of people who react to our advertising and blogs are...

We’ve done a lot of work for clients with mild to moderate, usually situational, depression or anxiety disorders. The truth is the more crazed and frenetic our society and lifestyle become, the more people are looking for a little bit of help coping. It’s...

It’s been a fascinating couple of years. I will sum it up by saying that we have helped a lot of people get life insurance who never thought they could. And what better way to celebrate the information we’ve shared and the victories we’ve had than...

The truth is that I doubt if anyone makes it through life without situational anxiety or depression and there are days when I would swear the whole world is ADD, so what’s the big deal? For years a lot of the more conservative life insurance companies have with...

Up until a few years ago sleep apnea, even well controlled with a cpap, was just one of those health issues that you could expect wouldn’t get much better than a standard plus approval from the best of life insurance underwriters. The same could be said of...

There is probably no better feeling for me (and my clients) than turning their previous experience of being declined for life insurance into an approval for the insurance that they want for their family. For those who have been declined, it’s the same feeling as...

Still fresh in my mind is the story a client related to me about her experience of being declined for life insurance due to bipolar disorder. This was news to her since she didn’t have bipolar disorder. In talking through the situation with her she did bring up...

Over the years we have offered discussion on how to get the best possible life insurance rates even though your health is less than perfect. The truth is that with perfect health and family history you can probably find good rates at any number of sources and how to...

We have been blessed with a lot of success in helping those with well controlled bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder and depression, find life insurance companies who will, first and foremost, give them a fair hearing and secondly, make fair offers on coverage. I was...

As we’ve discussed many times, good life insurance rates are available if you have bipolar disorder if you meet certain criteria, underwriting guidelines. For the purposes of underwriting, while the companies may call them guidelines, assume they are rules. You...

There must be a couple of million people in the US licensed to sell life insurance. If you take in the giant internet mega agencies, all of the independent agents, and all of the captive agents (work for just one company), the possibilities for purchasing life...

I don’t know that I was shocked, but certainly took note the other night when, unless my memory is as bad as my wife says, I saw an advertisement for bipolar disorder medication during prime time. The medication is Abilify and I am not posting this to endorse it...

This is a stressed out world we’re living in and it would be highly unlikely that you don’t know someone suffering from either anxiety or depression, and not too unlikely that the someone could be you. The more pressure the world exerts, the more likely...

I was recently contacted by a person who had been declined by an insurance company (pretty much an every day occurrence here). This person had been treated for depression for quite a while, but successfully treated. The person was leading a normal, stable life....

I wouldn’t presume to beat a dead horse, but so seldom is there any significant shift in life insurance underwriting that it bears as much good press as it can stand. While life insurance companies have, for a long time, been fairly tolerant of mild situational...
