    Kit Harington, who gained massive recognition with HBO's 'Game Of Thrones', recently opened up about his mental health battle and struggle with alcoholism during his early days of fame. In a recent episode of the wellness podcast Hidden 20%, Harington revealed he was made aware of his ADHD while being admitted to rehab for alcoholism. Before being admitted to an American rehab facility, Harington tried another rehabilitation program.

    However, it wasn't until his second rehab program that he found out about his ADHD diagnosis. “I realized that my life was hinging on this. Luckily, it was the right place at the right time. I managed to forge a new life from there,” Harington said, per The Times.

    Recalling his first rehab experience, the Eternals star said, “I entered rehab drunk, sobered up in there, and went, ‘F**k this, not you guys in a circle. No, thank you.’ And I left that pretty quick and said, ‘I'll try to deal with this by myself,’ which didn't work after about four years.”


    The actor recalled hitting rock bottom between 2018-2019 when he was starring in the play 'True West'. Harington's condition worsened amid the intense popularity of 'Games of Thrones'.

    Talking about his mental health issues, the actor shared that he was trying to portray an image of 'utter sophistication and coolness' but was genuinely terrified of everything. Harington revealed how he was “trying to project this image of utter sophistication and coolness about what I was doing but genuinely being sort of terrified about everything."

    He also explained how he was affected mentally by what people said about him online. “That is a dangerous rabbit hole to fall down because you find all of the bad stuff that people are saying as well as the nice stuff,” Harington said.

    He added he was affected mentally by what people said about him online.
    After the news about Kit Harington's mental health battles surfaced, fans expressed their thoughts.
