Find Psychosis Travel Insurance

According to NHS England, psychosis affects up to 3% of the population. Symptoms can significantly impact daily life, requiring careful management and talking therapies like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), along with medication.

Having specialist Travel Insurance for mental health conditions like psychosis is important to ensure you’re covered for any unexpected treatment related to your condition abroad. It can also cover cancellation if an unexpected change in your condition leaves you unfit to travel on your planned trip, or repatriation if it is deemed medically necessary for you to return home while abroad.

Travel Insurance for Psychosis FAQs

What does Travel Insurance for psychosis cover?

Travel Insurance for psychosis covers the cost of unexpected or emergency medical treatment/assistance abroad. It can also covers cancellation, should your condition worsen requiring you to cancel your trip, and repatriation should you need to return home after falling ill or becoming injured while you’re away. Other benefits include baggage cover in case your luggage gets lost or stolen, providing extra financial protection. Make sure to check the specific wording of your psychosis Travel Insurance policy to make sure you understand what is and isn’t covered. 

Are travel options limited for those with psychosis?

No, not always. With careful planning and management, many people with psychosis can still easily enjoy their travels. If your condition is unstable, you may need to consult with your doctor or mental healthcare provider to make sure you are medically fit to travel. You’ll also need to take your medication and documents with you and check your prescription is available abroad should you run out. Carrying a ‘travelling letter’ detailing your condition and needs along with your doctor’s details is also beneficial should you experience an episode of psychosis abroad and need help. 

Depending on your condition, you may be more comfortable travelling with a trusted friend or family member who can help make sure you enjoy your travels and provide support if needed. For more advice when travelling with conditions like psychosis, read the Government’s guidance on managing mental health and wellbeing abroad.

How does having psychosis affect the cost of insurance?
Being diagnosed with psychosis can make the cost of insurance more expensive than a person who is not affected by the condition. This is simply because you will have a higher risk of needing treatment which can be more expensive abroad. If you have recently had an episode of psychosis or have been previously diagnosed, it’s important to declare this on your insurance regardless of how it affects the costs. Having the right Travel Insurance for psychosis in place is important to ensure you can access the treatment and support needed if you experience an episode abroad. It’s also important from a financial perspective, protecting your investment in the event your condition requires you to cancel or cut short your trip.
Is there an upper age limit for psychosis Travel Insurance?
No. At Just Travel Cover, we offer specialist Travel Insurance with no upper-age limit, and cover for hundreds of pre-existing medical conditions including psychosis. Whether you’re over 50, 65, 70, 80 or beyond, we’ll be happy to help you find the right Travel Insurance provider for your specific age and health.
Can I buy Travel Insurance for someone else with psychosis?

Yes. If you are applying for Travel Insurance on behalf of someone with psychosis, just be sure to answer any medical questions accurately. Have a copy of their diagnosis and current care plan to hand to help you provide the right information and make sure they check their details are correct.

Can I get Travel Insurance while I’m still waiting for a psychosis diagnosis?
