What are personality disorders?
Personality disorders are a group of mental health conditions that affect how a person thinks, feels, and relates to others, such as Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Avoidant Personality Disorder, or Borderline Personality Disorder. They affect approximately 1 in 20 people in the UK, and while symptoms of a personality disorder can vary, many people successfully manage the condition through medication or ongoing care.
With the right preparation, medical guidance, and suitable travel insurance, plenty of people who have been diagnosed with a personality disorder (in whatever capacity), can capably and confidently travel abroad.
Why it’s worth having travel insurance if you have a personality disorder:
- 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 mental health condition like a personality disorder
- Speak with your doctor before travelling if your personality disorder symptoms have recently changed
- Keep medication and medical information with you at all times

- Take regular breaks if tiredness affects you while travelling with a personality disorder
When completing the medical declaration, it's important to read the questions carefully, and declare this condition where required.
Travel insurance is available for many people with a personality disorder. What we can offer depends on how the condition affects you and how well it is managed, which is why honest, accurate answers to the medical declaration questions matter.
