Insurance In The News
1 in 5 young adults has a personality disorder
Almost one in five young American adults has a personality disorder that interferes with everyday life, and even more abuse alcohol or drugs, researchers just reported in the most extensive study of its kind. The results highlight the need for mental health services to be housed with other medical services on college campuses, and to erase the stigma and make it more likely that people will seek help. It should alert not only "students and parents, but also deans and people who run college mental health services about the need to extend access to treatment."

ANNUITY:A life insurance product that pays periodic income benefits for a specific period of time or over the course of the annuitant’s lifetime. There are two basic types of annuities: deferred and immediate. Deferred annuities allow assets to grow tax-deferred over time before being converted to payments to the annuitant.
