Harry can be seen chatting to Oprah in an official trailer released today.
He says: "To make that decision to receive help is not a sign of weakness. In today's world more than ever, it is a sign of strength."
The trailer includes poignant archive footage of Harry stood next to Prince Charles at Princess Diana's funeral.
A voiceover says: "Treating people with dignity is the first act."
The first trailer also features Meghan leaning over Harry while wearing a T-shirt printed with the slogan "Raising the Future".
Archie makes a brief appearance too with a clip of him sitting on Meghan's lap on his first birthday.
Harry says: "What words have you heard around metal health? Crazy?
"To make that decision to receive help is not a sign of weakness.
"In today’s world more than ever, it is a sign of strength.
"The results of this year will be felt for decades, the kids the families, husbands, wives everybody."
The Apple TV+ series premieres on Friday May 21 and features contributions from singer Lady Gaga, Syrian refugee Fawzi, and DeMar DeRozan of the NBA's San Antonio Spurs.
It comes days after Harry said his life was “a mixture between The Truman Show and being in a zoo”.
He opened up about his mental health struggles in a brutally frank, and profanity-laden, chat with US podcast host Dax Shepard.
The duke revealed he wanted to quit the Royal Family 15 years before Megxit because he was concerned over what it "did to my mum".
When asked about his trips as a royal around the Commonwealth, Harry told the Armchair Expert podcast: "It’s the job right? Grin and bear it, get on with it.
"In my early 20s, it was a case of, I don’t want this job. I don’t want to be here, I don’t want to be doing this, look what it did to my mum.
"How am I ever going to settle down, have a wife and a family when I know, that it’s going to happen again?
"Because I know, I’ve seen behind the curtain. I’ve seen the business model, I know how the operation runs and how it works, and I don’t want to be a part of this."
He also claimed that he was told “you need help” while he was growing up but rejected it, saying: “There is nothing wrong with me.”
Harry also discussed his relationship with his father just weeks after claiming he was "trapped" in the royal family.
He said he moved California to “break the cycle” of "genetic" pain for wife Meghan and their kids.
Harry told the podcast: “There’s no blame, I don’t think we should be pointing the finger or blaming anybody.
“But certainly when it comes to parenting, if I have experienced some form of pain or suffering because of the pain or suffering perhaps my father or my parents suffered, I’m gonna make sure that I break that cycle so that I don’t pass it on, basically.
“There is a lot of genetic pain and suffering that gets passed on anyway. As parents we should be doing the most that we can to say, ‘You know what, that happened to me, I’m gonna make sure that’s not going to happen to you’.”
