'where in the u s ron's upset about his psychic' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'self' could be 'ego' (synonyms) and 'ego' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
