The pair discussed their mental health battles with anchor Robin Roberts on Friday.
"One of the things that and I wanted was for people to understand that mental health and mental fitness is a spectrum and we're all on a spectrum," Winfrey said.
And in stunningly candid moments, Harry, 36, launches blistering attacks on his close relatives - and even admits to past drug use and booze binges to escape from his anguish.
"That doesn’t make sense. Just because you suffered, that doesn’t mean your kids have to suffer. Actually quite the opposite.
"If you suffered, do everything you can to make sure that whatever negative experiences you had, you can make it right for your kids."
"We chose to put our mental health first. That's what we're doing. And that's what we will continue to do. Isn't this all about breaking the cycle?
"Isn't it all about making sure that history doesn't repeat itself? That whatever pain and suffering has happened to you, that you don't pass on."
Harry spoke in the documentary about suffering through a "nightmare time" in his life from when he was 28 until 32.
