Recently, Nick Cannon opened up about his mental health in an interview with People magazine, sharing that he has been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder. This new diagnosis adds to his previous revelation of being neurodivergent, having ADHD, and dyslexia since childhood.
Mayo Clinic defines narcissistic personality disorder as a mental health condition characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. People with this disorder may struggle with self-worth, easily getting upset by criticism, and have difficulty understanding or caring about others’ feelings. Treatment typically involves talk therapy to address these behaviors.
In his journey towards healing, Nick Cannon is vocal about accepting his diagnosis and seeking help through therapy. He emphasizes the importance of mental health awareness and being a positive example for others while undergoing the healing process. Despite being clinically diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder, Cannon rejects the negative connotations associated with the term, choosing to educate himself and take control of his own narrative.
