Travel Advice

If you have Bipolar Disorder and want to travel, it is essential that you first purchase a Travel Insurance policy before you leave the country.

Depending on the answer to the medical questions, in most cases, a Single Trip policy is usually the best option to cover Bipolar Disorder.

Many aspects of travelling can trigger a depressive episode, including increased stress and disrupted sleep patterns.

Travelling with Bipolar Disorder

  • Make sure that you are on medication that you know works for you.
  • Travelling soon after changing your medication is not a good idea, as adverse effects can ruin the holiday.
  • Do not travel when you are suffering from erratic moods.
  • Carry enough medication with you to last the trips, plus extras in case of emergency/delays.
  • Travel with someone who can identify any warning signs of an onset of mood change and cope with the situation.
  • Keep your medication in your hand luggage.
  • Split it between your luggage and the person you are travelling with in case one bag gets lost.
  • Carry a recent prescription and a letter from your doctor detailing your condition.
  • Try to reduce as much stress as possible; plan a relaxing holiday.
  • Get as much sleep as possible and try to maintain your regular sleep patterns as much as possible.
