Speaking on the latest episode of her podcast Archetypes, Meghan sat down with Deepika Padukone, Jenny Slate and Constance Wu
Meghan Markle has opened up about her mental health struggles on her podcast and revealed that it was her husband Prince Harry who found help for her.
"I think at my worst point being finally connected to someone that you know, my husband had found a referral for me to call and I called this woman, she didn't know, I was even calling her what and she was checking out at the grocery store. She told the chat show host she "didn't want to be alive anymore" and when asked directly if she was thinking of self-harm and having suicidal thoughts at some stage, Meghan replied "yes". She says Harry "cradled her" when she told him, and he later admitted it sent him to a "dark place".
"From relationships to families being shattered, reputations destroyed and careers ruined, the stigma surrounding the word - it also has a silencing effect. This effect with women experiencing real mental health issues, they get scared, they stay quiet, they internalise, and they repress for far too long."
