In this episode
Rising to fame in 2018 for his dating escapades on Love Island, Dr Alex George has since taken the media world by storm, becoming a TV doctor, writer and now Youth Mental Health Ambassador to the government, improving the support that young people receive regarding their mental health. He has also since published two Sunday Times Number 1 Bestsellers as well as bringing out his newest book, The Mind Manual.
From his years as an A&E doctor Alex has become a well known and respected figure, bringing the nation accessible and reassuring advice directly from the frontline throughout the pandemic. He is honest about the struggle with his own mental health, hoping to break the stigma, being an advocate for “post your pill” on Instagram and has since opened up about the tragedy of losing his younger brother to suicide, raising awareness and sharing his grief journey. Recounting his experiences with social backlash, mental health, grief and failure, Alex aims to use his social media platform for good.

I have so much respect for this guy. He went on love island and has used his platform for amazing things, that’s a real influencer!

[@stayhappylittlemermaid]

Don't exchange what you want the most for what you want at the moment

[@NusaybahP]

Thank you so much Dr Alex. You’re doing an incredible job using your platform!

[@Larathelegend]

I didn’t follow Alex after love island because I don’t really care for influencer posts selling and posing. Since he started posting about mental health and health in general I am full blown Alex Stan. Full respect, he’s helped me so much and I know he is helping others too and he should be so fkin proud of himself. He is using his social media for sharing such important messages and I really appreciate his content

[@JemimaRawlings]

Dr Alex is such a hero! So amazing to listen to someone so eloquent and knowledgable

[@lauraharrington9499]

This was a great listen, can’t agree more and love the work Alex is doing!

Lo felicito por su lavor que asé por la juventud doctor Alex saludos desde Nueva York

[@ivenuzice47]

Thank you.

[@albagizal1046]

Great interview thanks. Very significant what he said about when starting a new job you have fire safety and first aid guidance etc but nothing on mental crisis even though the most likely way you're going to die isn't a fire or an accident but suicide.

[@maddyG7414]

Wow. I knew him from love island and always thought he was the nicest one on the show. No idea he went through this. 😢

[@Faith-sr8zw]

My ex boyfriend admitted he needed help after I pleaded with him… he still didn’t .. until he was on the verge and had to call the Samaritans . It is tough but I’m glad I previously gave him local mental health resources

[@Faith-sr8zw]

What he said around 25 mins really seemed similar to him

[@holliejoy9468]

There’s a bit of the interview where it seems to repeat?

[@poem-saxophoneTV]

If you believe in Jesus, you and your family will be saved.Thank you for sharing this wonderful video.
