Christian Nodal Calls Anxiety ‘a Privilege,’ Prompting New Backlash After Therapy Disclosure

The comment inflamed criticism over his framing of mental health.

Overview

  • In a La Red interview, Nodal said he has been in psychotherapy for more than two years and that it has helped him channel and understand his emotions.
  • He described anxiety as “a privilege” tied to having time to think, noting that he once coped by focusing solely on work and dismissing depression.
  • Social media users denounced the phrasing as insensitive or offensive, citing the reality of panic attacks, insomnia and fear.
  • Nodal also accused TikTok creators of profiting from negative coverage about him and alleged the use of voice modulation and AI‑altered images.
  • The renewed criticism arrives as he remains in a legal dispute with Universal Music and navigates a strained co‑parenting dynamic involving travel permissions and support for his daughter, Inti.
