Mental Illnesses FAQs
Yes. Many insurance providers recognize severe mental illnesses, such as depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and more, as valid reasons for disability claims.
You would typically need comprehensive medical records, psychiatrist or therapist statements, treatment details, and potentially the results of psychological assessments.
The severity is often gauged through medical documentation, the impact of the illness on your daily functioning, and sometimes through independent medical evaluations.
Depending on your insurance policy, short-term disabilities, including acute mental health crises, may qualify for benefits. It’s essential to check the specific terms of your policy.
