Today, the Duke of Sussex has met families, children and young adults at @Ymcaenglandandwales, in the south of Ealing, as a continuation of his dedicated work in the field of mental health. "We continue to make tremendous progress in reducing the stigma surrounding mental health, but continue to normalize the conversation. Let's continue to remember that there is no harm in not escaping and listening. After all, our way of thinking determines how we act, feel and treat ourselves and those around us. "The Duke of Sussex. It takes courage, strength, and honesty, but talking about your mental health issues often becomes the key to dealing with it. Just like physical exercise, which we all know to be good for us; we must take care of our mind as much as of our body. One in four people will suffer from a mental health problem at some point in their life. It's a part of us all. Have a shameless conversation about how you feel, be allowed to share your story and you will see that you are not alone. For more information, visit @ heads_together. – Royal Communications / PA

He attacked the dangers of social media
During his appearance, Prince Harry highlighted the dangers of social networks and video games, explaining: "The social networks that grew up in today's world are more addictive than drugs and alcohol. Yet it is more dangerous because it is standardized and there are no restrictions. We are in a period of mental change. "
He added, "We are having an exciting time, because everyone in this room has the opportunity to make a real difference so that young people who arrive are less connected to their phones."
Prince Harry focused on "the human connection," noting: "They can be as connected as they want, but they must have Human connection as well. Without this human connection, when you have a problem, you have nowhere to go and the only place you could go is online and you will probably end up being bullied. "
Prince Harry found a specific fault with Fortnite
Although he made some positive remarks about the misdeeds of social media, it was his comments on the Fortnite game that bothered people. Prince Harry explained, "In the interest of prevention, things are happening at the top, which together we are slowly putting pressure on. A game like Fortnite, for example, may not be very good for kids. Parents have their hands in the air – they do not know what to do. "
"It's like waiting for the damage to be done and the children come to your door and the families are broken. This game should not be allowed. Where is the advantage of this game at home? It was created for addict, an addiction to keep you in front of a computer as long as possible. It's so irresponsible. "
