Nick Cannon<\/a> has admitted he \u201cneeds help\u201d as he opens up about his battles with his mental health.<\/p>\n

Speaking with People<\/em><\/a>, The Masked Singer<\/em><\/a> host said he is still getting to grips with his diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder. \u201cI still don\u2019t understand it all the way, but I kind of always wanted to get tested for it. I did a bunch of tests,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been diagnosed with ADHD. Even as a kid it was dyslexia, but just knowing that I\u2019m just a neurodivergent individual, I kind of always knew,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

After his recent diagnosis, Cannon said he is embracing his mental health struggles and learning to heal. \u201cI feel like there\u2019s so many labels out there, but it\u2019s like, to be able to embrace it and say, \u2018Look, I\u2019m healing. I need help. Show me,’\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cI just embrace mental health and therapy in such a strong way. To be able to say I\u2019m an example for others, but also be healing during the self-process works too.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wild \u2018n Out<\/em><\/a> star first revealed his diagnosis on his Counsel Culture<\/em><\/a> podcast earlier this month, where he explained he\u2019d been \u201cclinically diagnosed\u201d with narcissistic personality disorder. Afterward, he said he researched the disorder and realized he identifies with nearly all the \u201cmarkers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve taken all the power away from the term narcissism because I\u2019ve researched it and I understand it,\u201d he shared. \u201cCall me whatever you want\u2026 now if I didn\u2019t know what it was, then I have issue with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a busy man\u00a0on Thanksgiving,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019m going to be full by the end of the day, but everybody specializes in certain things, you know what I mean? Some people got good sweet potato pie, some people got amazing fried turkey. So I know every house that needs to have the things that I really like.\u201d<\/p>\n
