No problem. A lot of Canadians have private insurances to cover therapy and counselling bills, dentistry bills, prescriptions for glasses, certain medications and cost of hearing aids.

My dad's friend got insurance to cover him for life in the event shall MS cripple him permanently before he's able to retire since wokers' comp won't cover it, social welfare can't cover the expenses, and EI (employment insurance) doesn't last forever.
 
An insurance company investigating the validity of a claim is business.
Facebook is a pleasurable past time on the computer/internet... they BOTH don't belong together.
Besides the photos are inconclusive. Or as someone stated she could've been trying to enjoy herself to get herself OUT of her depression. Therapists will agree that finding a distraction or doing something that you enjoy is a benefit to getting out of depression.
Judging a person solely on photographs is a piss-poor way to determine their mental state.
The insurance company has no claim whatsoever on these grounds.
If she has been clinically diagnosed then she has a valid claim... PERIOD. Her Therapist has the right to say she's okay now. SHE has the right to say I'm okay now... the insurance company doesn't...

it is greed ... pure and simple.
