OREANDA-NEWS. March 25, 2016. Some people get anxious, sometimes even slightly depressed, whenever these two words are mentioned. You know what I’m talking about. Many people get uncomfortable just thinking about life insurance. To some, it’s right up there with drawing up a will or reserving burial plots. (And who wants think about tombstones?)

I personally think life insurance is one of the greatest products ever invented, but I do understand why this topic can elicit anxiety. But what if that anxiety is a chronic or debilitating condition? What if you suffer from severe depression or have a bipolar disorder? Can you get life insurance if you have been diagnosed with depression or have been hospitalized with some form of mental illness, past or present?

The answer is: “Possibly.” Frankly, it will depend on several factors, including the severity of the specific mental illness. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, depression is a common, yet serious illness. Depression can come in many forms – from short-term sadness (usually only lasting a few days) to more severe conditions, such as ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and Bipolar disorders. Treatments run the gambit from antidepressants to hospitalization. Again, depression is treatable – and in many cases, insurable.
