Hi Tiffany,

I am not sure if your brother has a diagnosis re: mental ill health? (sorry, i know its my stuff, but I found the term mental patient quite uncomfortable, it was just the choice of words that were used, which didn't sit well with me. Not meaning put put you down in any way, just highlighting that it created an OUCH moment for me).

There are travel insurance companies, which can be found via an internet search. some specialise in mental ill health, but shop around, make a few phone calls and do your research before you commit yourself to anything.

Thanks everyone for helping me. I also got some information about health insurance in Germany. One of my German Facebook friend recommended me to visit http://www.covomo.com/health-insurance-tourists-info/ . I got some information from this site. It is saying that i can get health insurance under one condition, I have to provide my European Healthcare Insurance card. So as a citizen of EU, I think i will get health insurance easily.
