Prince Harry’s decision to open up about his mental health problems represents a “true turning point” in the fight to change attitudes, experts said.
The prince said that losing his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, when he was 12 had a profound effect on his adult life, which descended into “total chaos”. He said that he dealt with the grief by blocking out all thoughts of her until he sought therapy.
Prince Harry said he sought professional help for mental health problems after speaking to wounded soldiers in Afghanistan and his brother, the Duke of Cambridge
