Father of 12, Nick Cannon, has been clinically diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder and admits he needs help...
Nick Cannon is getting candid about his mental health journey.
Earlier this month, the Masked Singer host, 44, shared he had been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder. For the star, being open about his struggles is a part of how he manages his day to day.
"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," Cannon told PEOPLE exclusively on Wednesday, Nov. 27, while serving meals at the Los Angeles Mission's Thanksgiving celebration.
"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."

Good for him. Knowing is half the battle.
Narcissism recovery plan step 1: Quit making babies you can’t devote the required time, love and attention to.
hell Nawl he should have done this “work” before having kids he still acting as a narc by even disclosing this because he is only going to use it as a way to manipulate and make excuses. He been knew he was a messed up individual and had all these health issues and still decided to run rampant creating more humans that may have issues to deal with because of his bad genetics and dna YEA I SAID IT
Tic Tok mųťhafőķéř. Time waits for no one. Be who you is. In the end it’s going to balance itself out
Just get TF over yourself.
You didn't need a shrink to tell you hundred babies with 4 or 5 different women was out of control. You got Aunties and your common sense to tell you that. It's too late to push all them kids back up the mothers Va-ga-ga. I still think you wanted them kids for donor parts when you get sick again. That way you don't have to search far and wide for other ppl to supply you.
Hey man just go make some more money. Ain’t that what it’s all about Nick?
Up hill battle for you bruh, this diagnoses has many different layers and all of them are malignant. Good luck on your continued journey toward self awareness.
He's been acting like a monkey in a circus act ever since he apologized to his "Jewish sisters and brothers."
It’s ok Nick… most B- Dubbs are narcissists, but of coarse they hold no accountability. Carry on.
Nick, start with a vactomy
It's the women that lined up to drop a baby with this fool that get me. Like did you really think he was gonna be a good dad? And miss me with the fake photo ops, they don't relate in any way to being a good parent. I feel for the poor innocent kids.
"To be able to say I'm an example for others, but also be healing during the self-process works too."
He thinks to highly of himself. His life should not be an example for others he is delusional.
