Carson Daly talked about his struggle with anxiety

Earlier this year, Carson Daly got candid about his struggle with anxiety. The Voice emcee feels that it made him more fragile as he gets older. In 2018, Carson revealed live on Today that he has generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) for much of his life. He uses cognitive behavior therapy to manage it.

In an interview with USA Today, Carson admitted some days are easier than others. He may appear confident and calm on live television. However, he finds little ways to help manage his anxiety. The television personality shared some of his strategies.

“On The Voice, when I’m live on Monday nights, most of the time, my right hand is in my right pocket, and I’m literally gripping onto the flesh of my thigh because I’m waiting for a high-panic moment to pass,” Carson Daly told USA Today.

He just wants his fans to know he’s just like them. It’s his personal goal to make mental health an ongoing conversation. The former MTV host has become passionate about spreading awareness that he shares inspirational segments on Today called “Mind Matters.”
