Prince Harry lost his mother at a young age after his parents went through a very dirty and public divorce. He suffered from depression and, fortunately, received therapy that helped him. As a result, he and his brother and sister-in-law, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, launched Heads Together in 2017 to help with mental health.
Now, the Duke of Sussex joins with Oprah to launch a television series about mental health for Apple TV. The Duke said,
I am incredibly proud to be working alongside Oprah on this vital series which we have been developing together for several months.
I truly believe that good mental health – mental fitness – is the key to powerful leadership, productive communities and a purpose-driven self.
It is a huge responsibility to get this right as we bring you the facts, the science and the awareness of a subject that is so relevant during these times.

Not to be cynical, but as a caregiver of someone with mental health diagnoses and being involved in that community, they suffer already with access to helpful resources.
Making this available only via Apple TV will only alienate them further. If work is being done to help this population, make it widely available for them to actually benefit.
Ever since the closure of mental health facilities, which had their own set of problems, especially the ones labeled “public “ government run facilities, individuals who can be helped into leading normal lives, provided they receive adequate support are left on the wayside. This needs more public awareness and less government involvement as treatment is not a for profit care and should not be a rich only thing.
