How a life insurance company will rate you depends on a variety of factors and how the insurer assesses you.

In many instances, the condition is very treatable with either some form of mental health therapy, medications or a combination of both.

What is Depression?

Depression is a very serious mental illness that affects 1 in 10 Americans and nearly twice as many women as men. It affects how you think, feel and act, and should not be confused with periods of sadness such as for the loss of a loved one.

Depression can occur at any time in a person’s life.

Several factors that can play a role in the development of this condition include:

• A Person’s Biochemistry – This entails abnormal changes with 2 chemicals found in the brain known as serotonin and norepinephrine
• A Genetic Disposition to the Disease
• A Person’s Personality
• Environmental Factors – which may include perpetual exposure to violence, abuse, or poverty
• Brain tumor
• Vitamin Deficiency

Some of the primary symptoms can include:

• Fatigue or loss of energy
• Irritability
• Restlessness
• Changes in your appetite as either weight gain or weight loss
• Difficulty in concentration or making decisions
• Oversleeping or insomnia
• Thoughts of suicide, attempted suicide or death

How Do Life Insurance Companies Rate Depression

Depression is viewed by most life insurance companies as a pre-existing condition. The condition can impact whether you are approved for a policy since people with depression have a higher rate of mortality than those without the condition.

An underwriter will look closely at the age you were diagnosed with the condition and the length of time which has passed since you were diagnosed, along with the overall history of the condition.

Insurers will want to know the severity of the condition and what form of medication was prescribed. Additionally, the insurer will want to know whether you have ever been hospitalized because of depression and whether there have been any suicide attempts.

Also, underwriters will want to know if you have any other mental health conditions and whether you have a previous history or are currently using alcohol or have a drug abuse problem.

Although you can very likely qualify for a policy in many, but not all instances, the insurer will likely premise the underwriting on the current state of your depression along with your lifestyle habits. Your rating will vary from case to case.

In some cases, you could be denied coverage altogether and may have to seek alternative forms of coverage such as a Graded Death Benefit or a Guaranteed Issue – No Medical Exam Policy.

Rating Factors for Depression Used By Life Insurers

The primary factors used by insurers include the following:

• Dates of initial and subsequent episodes of depression
• The specific type of depression diagnosis
• What medications are being taken for this condition
• Has the proposed insured been hospitalized for the treatment of depression?
• Has the proposed insured been treated with electroshock therapy (ECT)? If so, date(s) of first and last treatments & the total number of treatments.
• Has the proposed insured had (or been diagnosed with) any of the following conditions?
  • Alcohol abuse
  • Drug abuse
  • Personality disorder
  • Psychotic disorder
  • Suicidal thoughts or suicide attempts
• Do you have any other health issues or medical conditions?
