Travel Insurance for ADHD

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, and activity levels, and in the UK it affects roughly 2.6 million people. For many individuals, symptoms can be managed with treatment or lifestyle adjustments.

Most people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder continue to travel as normal, and with a little planning and proper management of the condition, it is often done safely and confidently.

Here’s why travel insurance matters when travelling with a medical condition:

  • Emergency medical treatment abroad if your condition causes complications
  • Hospital treatment and medical expenses during your trip
  • Repatriation to the UK if you need to return home for further care
  • Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition

Travel advice for people with a neurodevelopmental condition

  • Take medication at the same times you normally would at home
  • Ensure you have enough medication for the duration of your trip
  • Avoid triggers that may worsen symptoms where possible
  • Allow time for rest if fatigue affects you

When completing the medical declaration, it's important to read the questions carefully, and declare this type of condition where required.

We can provide travel insurance for travellers who have been diagnosed with a wide range of medical conditions. The type of cover available can depend on how severe the condition is and how it is managed. For that reason, it’s important to answer all medical declaration questions honestly and accurately.
