People reports that Brown shared her personal experience alongside her gushes about the series. "Prince Harry and Oprah guide the conversation so well, and the people who they interview just make you feel so seen and heard if you struggle with any kind of depression, anxiety, mental illness of any kind," she said. "It's just really powerful. Honestly, it made me feel a little emotional because I could feel all the feelings from it, because I understood so much. But I thought it'd be great for anyone who sometimes has a hard time expressing what it's like. They do a wonderful job explaining it."

The outlet notes that The Me You Can't See contains five episodes that chronicle both Winfrey and Prince Harry's journeys with mental health as well as conversations around mental illness. "So, if you have a family, friend, loved one that just can't understand, this would be a great resource for them to check it out, and for you to check out yourself, to not feel so alone," the 26-year-old added.
