She has been noticeably absent from this season’s fashion week shows, and fans speculate that it may be because of her anxiety.
In a new episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians, Kendall Jenner opened up about undergoing a brain scan, which showed that she “100% has anxiety.”
“Basically, [the doctor] scans your brain, and he tells you, like he sees where it’s like firing. Like he said, ‘You 100% have anxiety. I can see it all in your brain.’ It’s really interesting.”
Hoping to convince her wealthy sisters to get their brains scanned as well, she told Khloé Kardashian: “I’m actually so interested to see how your brain looks, mostly after everything that’s just happened with Tristan [Thomspon].”
Although we didn’t get to see Kendall on the European runway shows this season, the 26-year-old model did make up for it as she strutted her stuff in NYC.
Kicking off the fall season, the 818 Tequila founder paraded her enviable model figure in two bodycon dresses on Thursday.

The ‘90s-inspired form-fitting denim number is the “Dida” from Max Mara’s sub-label, Sportmax. It comes in a dark-wash denim hue and features flattering ruching and waist seams.
Wearing her brunette tresses down, Kendall further styled with tiny hoop earrings and added a pop of color to her look with red nail polish.

Kendall Jenner’s Struggle With Anxiety
Last year, Kendall sat down with psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula for Vogue’s Open-Minded series to discuss her journey with social anxiety.
“I remember being really young, I’d say 8, 9, 10, and having shortness of breath and going to my mom and telling her that.”
She also opened up about how her fame took a toll on her mental health. “I think being overworked and being in the situation that I’m in now is kind of what set it out of control in a way.”
“I’ve had times where I feel like I need to be rushed to the hospital because I think my heart’s falling and I can’t breathe, and I need someone to help me. Sometimes I think I’m dying. Sometimes parts of my body will go numb. It can be really intense and scary.”
Kendall knows there are people who wonder what “does she have to be anxious about” given her fame and status in life.
“I’ll never sit here and say that I’m not fortunate. I know I live a very privileged, amazing lifestyle. I’m a very blessed girl.” Pointing to her head, she added, “I still have one of these, you know what I mean? And that thing up there sometimes doesn’t always, I don’t know, it’s not always happy and it’s not always connecting.”
“I’m still a human being at the end of the day. No matter what someone has or doesn’t have, it doesn’t mean that they don’t have real-life feelings and emotions.”

In 2018, Kendall skipped the fashion month season to prioritize her mental health. She told LOVE magazine, “Last season, I didn’t do any shows.”
“Just cause I was working in L.A. and I was like ‘Oof, I can’t right now—I’m gonna go crazy.’ I was on the verge of a mental breakdown.”
