Love Island's Dr Alex George shares ADHD diagnosis with poignant and reflective post

Dr Alex George shared his recent attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis with fans this evening [October 5].

The former Love Island star, 31, recalls years of feeling different to others but feared being labelled and judged, with the NHS doctor going on to express a dislike for the term 'disorder' - telling his Instagram followers: "Why would I want to be known as having a 'disorder'?"

Dr Alex credits a conversation with musician Toddla T - husband of Annie Mac - with giving him the strength to 'stop burying my head in the sand' and look for an answer to why he often handles situations differently to other people, and reveals he has now officially been diagnosed with ADHD following assessments over recent months.
