There are comments on here that have missed the point. He is telling us he is a human being and that he is frail. This is why he fell down. There is no apology. I see no desire for sympathy and this is not PR. There is a movement taking place to share the pain, isolation and guilt of mental health. It can happen to anyone - a CEO, a prince or princess, a soldier, a doctor, a builder, your brother, your daughter, your best friend. People end their lives because they don't know how to talk about it. Nobody is completely immune, the same way nobody is perfect. Regardless of who you are, you have a right to push against the stigma of mental health. Of course it will take time to improve mental health for all. But let's not close him down. Every time someone in his position takes this kind of bold step, we will get closer to ending the stigma. And this will alleviate misery and it will save lives.
