He stated that despite being hit with the NPD, he is channelling his efforts into becoming the best version of 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 said.
“To be able to say I’m an example for others, but also be healing during the self-process works too.”
Cannon first revealed his diagnosis during the November 8 episode of his podcast, alongside special guest Dr. Cheyenne Bryant, a doctor of psychology.
