An unnamed source said that “The end of GoT really hit Kit hard."

“He realized ‘this is it — this is the end’, it was something they had all worked so hard on for so many years. He had a moment of, what next?" The source said, adding, “He’s in the clinic predominantly for stress and exhaustion and also alcohol."

“His wife Rose is being extremely supportive. Everyone close to him really wanted him to get some rest. Right now, he just needs peace and quiet," the source continued.

Harington's previously opened up about the toll Game Of Thrones had on him.
