Meghan Markle comments on depression, anxiety

Meghan Markle took the mic at a recent event and talked about mental health struggles.

The Duchess shared insights drawn from the Archewell Foundation’s work across multiple communities.

The royal couple opened the Project Healthy Minds’ fourth annual World Mental Health Day Festival in New York City, where they spoke about about mental heath issues.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were honored with Project Healthy Minds’ Humanitarians of the Year Award at the charity’s third annual World Mental Health Day Gala.

In her speech at the gala, the mother-of-two also made a startling comment about the protection of her kids.

In a statement shared on their website, she said “Three years ago, we met families whose worlds had shattered. Parents who had lost children to social media-driven suicide. Others watching their kids struggle with depression, anxiety, and self-harm linked to online platforms.”

The mother-of-two talked about multiple issues including people watching their kids struggle with “depression, anxiety, and self-harm”.

She further emphasised that bereaved parents required more than traditional therapy.

“The parents who lost children to social media didn’t just need therapy; they needed other parents who understood their specific grief.”
