Kit Harington gets candid about mental health struggles, is 'big believer' of therapy

Kit Harington is laying bare his struggles with mental health and is encouraging everyone to speak out.

During an appearance on The View, the 36-year-old actor revealed he entered therapy after his hit series Games of Thrones ended to get mental health help.

“I’m a big believer in talk therapy and I went through a lot of that when I went through the thing I went through,” Harington told the hosts.

“And I still to this day I have (for want of a better word) support groups that I go to where I talk and that helps me. And I do a lot of exercise which stops my brain going crazy.”

The Eternals star highlighted the growing rate of suicide in the young clique, and said, “I think more needs to be done, especially for young men…to help them talk about things. It shocks me that the biggest killer of men under 45 is suicide.”
