Bipolar Disorder Travel Insurance
Formerly known as manic depression, bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that can cause a person to swing repeatedly between extreme moods – both low and high.
Living with bipolar disorder can be tough, and the associated changes in mood often interfere with everyday life. Fortunately, there is plenty of help available and most people with the condition are still able to experience the joy of travel. In fact, activity and relaxation are both recommended treatments – and both can be included as part of a well-deserved holiday.
Free Spirit specialises in providing travel insurance to people of any age with existing medical conditions, including mental health disorders.
Important Reasons For Insuring Your Medical Condition

With Free Spirit, you will be covered for transport and accommodation costs should you need to cancel your holiday, right up until you are due to travel.

Top Tips For Travelling With Bipolar Disorder
A holiday is a great way to relax and enjoy activities – as both can ease the symptoms of bipolar disorder. As someone with an existing medical condition, however, it’s important that you prepare for the trip ahead.
- Before you set off, make your doctor aware that you’re going away. This will give them a chance to adjust your medication if necessary, or just offer extra advice.
- It’s crucial too that, if you’re travelling abroad, you make sure any medication you need to take is legal in the country you’re visiting. If not, your doctor may be able to provide an alternative, or a note that allows you to carry it.
- Be sure to stay in contact with friends and family while you’re away.
