Nick Cannon understands narcissistic personality disorder
Nick explains that he will still be in groups with all of that, but he has started going through tests. “I still don’t fully understand it, but I’ve always wanted to check it out. I took a lot of tests,” Cannon said.
Additionally, the ‘Masked Singer’ host noted that he has accepted his diagnosis and used it to better himself.
“I feel like there are so many labels out there, but like being able to embrace it and say, ‘Look, I’m healing. I need help. Let me see.” I just embraced mental health and therapy in a big way,” he said. “I can say that I am an example to others, but also healing in the process of dealing with myself,” Nick continued.
Nick Cannon opened up about his narcissistic personality disorder for the first time on the November 8 episode of the ‘Counseling Culture’ podcast with Dr. Cheyenne Bryant.
“I have taken away all the power of the term narcissism because I have studied it and I understand it. Call me whatever you want… now if I don’t know what it is I’m going to have a problem with it,” Cannon said in the episode.
Social media has weight
Social media users flooded in Dark Room commentary with reactions to Nick Cannon’s revelations. Dr. Cheyenne Bryant joined the commenters, supporting Nick for admitting his issues and working towards change.
“Proud of you @nickcannon . This is a big step forward for anyone with a narcissistic disorder. Responsibility and awareness are the first steps to change. Love you Nick! Dr. Bryant wrote.
Furthermore, Instagram users @lovely wrote, “Admitting is the first step! Good for him.”
Instagram User @rugby_polonauti wrote, “That’s probably why he thinks it’s cool to have 100 kids.”
While Instagram users @cvt_cv_ wrote, “I applaud him for his self-awareness, self-reflection, and desire to better himself! Hopefully this will inspire many others.”
Then Instagram user @jakademik_md wrote, “Yeah right, lol, haphazardly creating single parent households for no reason except self-indulgence fits the bill.”
Another Instagram user @iamperrier wrote, “20 young mothers later, I think it’s rocket science to figure this out.”
Finally, Instagram user @x_ellis_ wrote, “A trip to the psychiatrist would probably feel humiliating for a lot of people.”
