Nick Cannon Reveals His Narcissistic Personality Disorder Diagnosis On Podcast ‘I Need Help’

Nick Cannon is “healing” after being diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder. The Masked Singer host, 44, first revealed his condition in an in-depth conversation with Dr. Cheyenne Bryant on the November 8 episode of his “Counsel Culture” podcast. At the time, Cannon said he had been “clinically diagnosed” with the disorder. “I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD. Even as a kid it was dyslexia, but just knowing that I’m just a neurodivergent individual, I kind of always knew,” he adds. Now, Cannon says he’s being accepting of his recent diagnosis and using it as a tool to better himself. “I feel like there’s so many labels out there, but it’s like, to be able to embrace it and say, ‘Look, I’m healing. I need help. Show me.’ I just embrace mental health and therapy in such a strong way,” he says. “To be able to say I’m an example for others, but also be healing during the self-process works too.”

Cannon first opened up about his diagnosis in a Nov. 8 episode of his Counsel Culture podcast. After confirming to Dr. Cheyenne Bryant, a Doctor of Psychology, that he had been “clinically diagnosed” with narcissistic personality disorder, Cannon explained he identifies with nearly all “markers” for the disorder. “I’ve taken all the power away from the term narcissism ’cause I’ve researched it and I understand it,” said Cannon on the episode. “Call me whatever you want… now if I didn’t know what it was, then I have issue with it.”
