Depression Travel Insurance
Depression is a mood disorder that causes persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities.
The word depression is used to describe how we feel on an everyday basis and the personal feelings which can affect us from time to time. Feeling sad or fed up are normal reactions to experiences that are upsetting, stressful, or difficult to deal with.
Here at Free Spirit, we can provide travel insurance cover for people with depression. While other insurers may keep their premiums low by not offering cover for people with mental illnesses, we will ensure you get the right cover to suit your needs for the right price!
Important Reasons For Insuring Your Medical Condition
We can cover you for cancellation before you travel and for emergency medical expenses whilst you are away. If you do require emergency medical treatment during your holiday due to your depression, Free Spirit can provide a minimum of £10 million pounds for emergency medical costs. This will give you the peace of mind while you’re away – just in case!
Family, friends and carers travelling with you may also be covered by Free Spirit, whether they have a pre-existing medical condition or not. If you had to cancel your holiday due to your depression, travelling companions on the same policy would also be covered. This may not be the case if they had taken out a separate standard policy elsewhere.

Top Tips For Travelling With Depression
- If you’re taking medication, make sure that you have enough to last through your trip and more just incase! It’s a good idea to write down the details of your medication in the event you need hospital treatment or they are lost in transit.
- Whether you’re away for two weeks or two months, having a routine can be beneficial and it makes taking care of yourself easier. The routine doesn’t mean you have to do the same thing every single day, just don’t allow yourself to fall back into sleeping in each morning.
- Holidays are for enjoying and having fun and this can be difficult to understand when you have depression. You may feel guilty for enjoying yourself or cross with yourself if you don’t understand the language but don’t let these feelings detract from why you are travelling the world.
- Sometimes, it’s worth taking a few moments to stop, think about and digest new surroundings and sensations before your mind wanders and takes over.
