This week's special show comes from Instagram's #GramFam Live event in London, a campaign to promote positive mental health in young people, working with charities CALM and The Mix.

Doctors Alex and Ella meet Simon Gunning, CEO of CALM – the Campaign Against Living Miserably – and one of the founders of Instagram phenomenon World Record Egg, Alissa Khan-Whelan. They'll talk about some of the ways social media can help you and what you can do to manage exam stress.

They answer your questions on revision, keeping on top of your studies and how to get through exam season.
