Life Insurance with Anorexia
Mental health conditions such as Anorexia can have a variety of effects on life insurance underwriting depending on the severity of the condition and the cause.

- When did you last experience any symptoms of Anorexia
- What impact does your condition have on you day to day
- Have you seen a psychiatrist or counsellor
- What impact your Anorexia has had on your health
Anorexia life insurance rates can vary from standard rates for someone not currently experiencing any symptoms or where the condition is well controlled, to heavier loadings or even decline where the condition is more severe and has had long lasting effects on your health. It is likely that underwriters will want to view a copy of your medical records for Anorexia life insurance to ensure that they have a full picture of your overall health to be able to assess your application accurately.
