Duchess of Cambridge raises mental health issues in Huffpost - The Duchess of Cambridge is trying to shatter the stigma attached to mental health issues as she guest edits an edition of the Huffington Post.

The former Kate Middleton said Wednesday that she and Prince William would not hesitate to seek help if they thought their children needed it. Her comments came as the website marked the start of a campaign called Young Minds Matter, which raises awareness around mental health in children.

The duchess —the patron of several charities that deal with the issue — wrote that she's heard "heart-breaking stories about lives that had been torn apart."

She called for change, writing that "with mental health problems still being such a taboo, many adults are often too afraid to ask for help for the children in their care."
