It's for this reason that I can well see that conversation taking place and Meghan being told that it wouldn't be a "good look". If she had gone to get help and the press got hold of it, like you say they would've had a field day and while things have improved over recent years regarding understanding mental health issues, there's still a huge amount of stigma and ignorance around it. The press would've fed into that stigma and ignorance for sure. With that in mind, I'm prepared to give the person who supposedly said that to Meghan some leeway as it could be that they felt - albeit misguidedly - they were doing her a favour in some way and didn't want her to get a load more shit in the press.
