Nick Cannon has been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder, which is a condition “characterized by impulsivity, volatility, attention-seeking, and a lack of empathy.”
The condition makes it hard to form relationships with others. During a chat with People magazine, the 44-year-old explained what he is doing to deal with the disorder.
“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 said. “To be able to say I’m an example for others, but also be healing during the self-process works too.”
He expanded on that in a previous interview.
“I’ve taken all the power away from the term ‘narcissism’ ‘cause I’ve researched it, and I understand it. Call me whatever you want… Now, if I didn’t know what it was, then I have issue with it,” he said.
We hope he figures this out for the sake of his 12 children.
