Hi
I`m going on holiday to Portugal in June - it`s the first holiday I`ve had for 5 years as I`ve been very ill during this time.
I`m (tentatively) looking forward to this, but I`ve stumbled upon the difficult issue of holiday insurance. I know that people with mental health problems find it very hard to get insurance of any kind, and I know that I`ll be faced with this problem. Although I consider myself to be recovering from depression, I`m CERTAINLY not `better`, and I take medication (and probably will for a long time to come).
So, my question is to other United Kingdom members. Do any fellow Brits have any advice on which insurance companies are `mental health friendly`? Or at least not too hostile?
Any advice will be gratefully received.
Thanks a lot
Anna.
