As a specialist private medical insurance broker we know that many of our clients have cover relating to mental health issues within their insurance policies, however we also know that there are general exclusions relating to specific triggers such as drug dependence and alcohol abuse. So where can people turn when they need help that they cannot get under their insurance or quickly enough on the NHS? Mind.org is a charity who provide people who need help with mental health issues valuable advice and support. They campaign to improve services, raise a greater level of awareness and promote understanding about mental health.
