Nick Cannon got personal this week about his need for help after recently being diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder. The 44-year-old spoke candidly to People<\/em>, saying\u00a0he wasn\u2019t surprised to receive the NPD diagnosis<\/a>, citing his history with mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI still don\u2019t understand it all the way, but I kind of always wanted to get tested for it,\u201d he told the outlet. \u201cI\u2019ve been diagnosed with ADHD. Even as a kid it was dyslexia, but just knowing that I\u2019m just a neurodivergent individual, I kind of always knew [I had NPD].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cannon says accepting the diagnosis and admitting he \u201cneed[s] help\u201d is an important part of managing the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just embrace mental health and therapy in such a strong way,\u201d said The Masked Singer<\/em> host. \u201cTo be able to say I\u2019m an example for others, but also be healing during the self-process works too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, Cannon revealed on his Counsel Culture<\/em><\/a>\u00a0podcast that\u00a0he\u2019d been \u201cclinically diagnosed\u201d with the disorder<\/a>, saying he identifies with nearly all the \u201cmarkers\u201d for NPD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
