But &#8220;things are not what they seem, and people need to know that&#8217;s OK,&#8221; he says. <\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">In reality, the TV personality, 48, has suffered from generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and panic attacks for much of his life.  Since his childhood, he has considered himself a &#8220;worrywart&#8221; after having lost his father at age 5 and has experienced panic attacks that started during his &#8220;Total Request Live&#8221; days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;You may know me from MTV or as a celebrity of whatever you think of me. You may think my life&#8217;s perfect. I&#8217;ve got kids. I always look happy on TV or when you watch me on &#8216;The Voice.&#8217;  But that&#8217;s just not how it works. It&#8217;s not like that, &#8220;Daly says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;On &#8216;The Voice,&#8217; when I&#8217;m live on Monday nights, most of the time, my right hand is in my right pocket, and I&#8217;m literally gripping onto the flesh of my thigh because I&#8217;m waiting for a high -panic moment to pass. &#8220;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_img\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">&#8216;The Voice&#8217;:<\/strong>Camila Cabello joins Gwen Stefani, John Legend and Blake Shelton as judge<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">&#8216;I wish I could live a normal life&#8217;:<\/strong>What your friend with an anxiety disorder wishes you knew<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Daly first spoke about his mental health in a vulnerable on-air discussion in 2018, during which he opened up about coping with cognitive behavioral therapy. <\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">He says his moments of panic and hyperventilation still come and go but he&#8217;s in a &#8220;much better place&#8221; since talking about it openly.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;Once you realize that other people have (GAD) &#8211; that it&#8217;s an actual diagnosable thing, and there is a whole psychology and physiology behind it &#8211; you have context, and I think learning about all that, talking about it, exploring it has just ripped the veil, &#8220;he says, adding that he&#8217;s&#8221; just on a really good personal path. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">While much progress has been made in destigmatizing the mental health conversation, Daly says there&#8217;s still a long way to go.  That&#8217;s why he hopes to humanize the issue with &#8220;Mind Matters,&#8221; a summer-long &#8220;Today&#8221; show series dedicated to sharing powerful mental health stories of everyday people.  Starting Tuesday, segments of the program will start airing on broadcast, and a &#8220;Mind Matters&#8221; special will be available for streaming on &#8220;Today All Day&#8221; Wednesday.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_img\"><img class=\"gnt_em_img_i\" style=\"height:441px\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2022\/05\/24\/USAT\/f98a4a39-6ecc-4c4a-b839-ad835dc2fe34-carson-daly-02.JPG?ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2022\/05\/24\/USAT\/f98a4a39-6ecc-4c4a-b839-ad835dc2fe34-carson-daly-02.JPG?width=1320&amp;height=882&amp;fit=crop&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp 2x\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"USA TODAY's Jenna Ryu spoke with Carson Daly on Tuesday to discuss his anxiety disorder, panic attacks and his mental health series, &quot;Mind Matters.&quot;\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">Mental Health Awareness Month:<\/strong>An emotional Selena Gomez explains why mental health is &#8216;personal&#8217; at White House, MTV event<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Daly, who has spoken to a young TikTok star, families of students who died by suicide and others, says the series is an &#8220;inspiring&#8221; opportunity to normalize a once-taboo topic. <\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;I shared my story haphazardly one day, and now this mental health area has become kind of my place at NBC News and within the show and the creation of &#8216;Mind Matters&#8217; to find other stories of people like me, whether they&#8217;re famous or not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;It&#8217;s just inspiring. I&#8217;ve never had an issue with clinical depression\u2026 but when doing &#8216;Mind Matters,&#8217; I have a chance to talk to people who struggle differently than I do with suicidal ideation or depression, and I&#8217;m in such awe of the bravery of people. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Daly hopes this mental health conversation also will highlight the struggle in marginalized communities.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_img\"><img class=\"gnt_em_img_i\" style=\"height:440px\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2022\/05\/24\/USAT\/39b60557-278f-4bc0-aa8a-f58a551c68cc-NRC_9507.jpg?ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2022\/05\/24\/USAT\/39b60557-278f-4bc0-aa8a-f58a551c68cc-NRC_9507.jpg?width=1320&amp;height=880&amp;fit=crop&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp 2x\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"(LR) Hoda Kotb, Savannah Guthrie and Carson Daly talk to former college football player Harry Miller about student-athletes and mental health after retiring from sports for the &quot;Mind Matters&quot; series.\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">Subscriber Exclusive:<\/strong>Black Americans&#8217; health is in crisis.

And there&#8217;s already a stigma that&#8217;s worse than it is for white counterparts, &#8220;Daly says.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;But I think by and large, the conversations are happening a lot more frequently.
