Meghan Markle reflected on her mental health struggles in her podcast, saying Prince Harry found her professional help when she was at her 'worst point'

• Meghan Markle spoke about mental health in a new episode of her "Archetypes" podcast for Spotify.
• Meghan said Prince Harry found her a professional to speak to when she was at her worst.

Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, has opened up about her experience finding a mental health specialist in the latest episode of her "Archetypes" podcast on Spotify.

The episode, titled, "The Decoding of Crazy with Deepika Padukone, Jenny Slate, and Constance Wu," aired on Tuesday and is the "heaviest and most hopeful episode" of the series to date, according to a Spotify press release sent to Insider.

The episode features a trigger warning, as Meghan and her guests speak about mental health and how sharing their experiences publicly may help others with similar struggles.

Constance Wu, an actress and author, spoke with Meghan about her personal experiences with mental health, including her suicide attempt three years ago after receiving backlash for since-deleted tweets where she expressed frustration about her "Fresh Off the Boat" TV series being renewed.

She previously opened up about the backlash in a statement shared on Twitter in July, where she wrote that the "scary moment" made her reassess a lot in her life, and put her career aside for the last three years to focus on her mental health.

Wu said on the podcast that she received a Twitter DM from another actress who "shamed" her, even though she didn't know the circumstances behind Wu's decision to write the tweet.

"I don't think she's a horrible person. I think the internet does that to you, because you can't see the person going through something," Wu said. She added that while she hasn't reconnected with the unnamed actress, she forgives her.

"I'd probably get emotional if I saw her, but I think I'd really be able to stand well on my own two feet," Wu said.

Wu shares further details on these topics in her memoir, "Making a Scene," which was released on October 3.

Later in the episode, Meghan opened up about her experiences and spoke to Deepika Padukone about what it was like to receive help from a mental health professional.

"At my worst point, being finally connected to someone, my husband had found a referral for me to call, and I called this woman, she didn't even know I was calling her," Meghan said.

"She was checking out at the grocery store, I could hear the little 'beep beep,'" she said. "I was like, 'Hi,' and introducing myself, and I could literally hear her say, 'Wait, sorry. Who is this?'"

"She could hear the dire state that I was in," Meghan said of the experience. "I think it's for all of us to be really honest about what it is that you need, and to not be afraid to make peace with that, to ask for it."

It's not the first time Meghan has opened up about her struggles with mental health. In her interview with Oprah Winfrey in March last year, the duchess said she had suicidal thoughts due to the damaging coverage she received from the British tabloids during her time as a working royal.

"I was ashamed to say it at the time and ashamed to have to admit it to Harry. But I knew that if I didn't say it — then I would do it," Meghan told Winfrey at the time.

"I just didn't want to be alive anymore," she said.

The podcast episode's show notes have a link to Project Healthy Minds, the website for a non-profit organization that has partnered with Harry and Meghan's Archewell charity to promote various mental health resources for those in need.

Representatives for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Constance Wu did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
