ABSTRACT

Mental health disorders are harder to evaluate for life insurance because their diagnoses can be subjective. To make fair decisions, insurance medical directors use research from trusted sources to calculate risk based on survival data. This article reviews a study conducted on patients in the UK with a diagnosis of attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
