Kit Harington's Mental Health After Game Of Thrones Was Worse Than Most Fans Knew

Throughout his talk with Ben Branson, Kit Harington opened up about his sobriety journey — and the mental health diagnosis that changed everything for him. 

While discussing his time in rehab in 2019, he said, "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." That said, it certainly wasn't a smooth ride; Harrington admitted he "entered rehab drunk, sobered up in there, and went, 'F*** 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," he concluded.

Harington also told Branson that he was diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, while in treatment in 2019. The two candidly discussed the challenges of parenting as a neurodivergent person. Harington said that his sobriety has helped him be the best possible father to the two children he shares with former "Game of Thrones" co-star Rose Leslie, but he sometimes feels the effects of his ADHD while playing with them. "My head wants to go to every other thing in the room at once," he said.
