Nick Cannon, the popular host of The Masked Singer, has shared a personal and shocking news about his mental health. He recently revealed that he has been diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), a condition he says he is not really aware of and still trying to fully understand.
What Is Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)?
According to the Mayo Clinic, NPD is a mental health disorder that gives individuals an “unreasonably high sense of their own importance.” People with this condition may constantly seek admiration, crave attention, and struggle to empathize with others.
In an interview with People magazine, Cannon admitted, “I still don’t understand it all the way, but I kind of always wanted to get tested for it. I did a bunch of tests.” Learn more about Narcissistic Personality Disorder at Mayo Clinic.
