Despite public awareness campaigns highlighting the issues facing people with mental health problems and the fact that no one is immune to developing a mental illness, people with mental health problems are still facing unfair discrimination, prejudice and stigma every day of their lives, not just from members of the public but also from businesses, banks, employers and even when it comes to taking out an insurance policy.

It is a fact that around 7 million people spend around £3 billion a year on medical insurance in UK. But are all these people well-aware of what they are buying?

Many of them misunderstand the policy and meet with nasty surprises in course of time.
