    We develop new services in response to the needs of our members. For example, many people have called us expressing how difficult they have found it to find travel insurance cover for manic depression. The MDF Annual Travel Insurance Facility is a response to this need. It offers affordable travel insurance to people with a pre-existing diagnosis of manic depression and family members.
