Kendall Jenner Proves Yet Again She'll Go To Extreme Lengths For Her Health
Kendall Jenner might be among the world's highest paid, most successful super models, as well as a member of America's most beloved — and controversial — reality TV dynasty. However, she's also a human being who struggles with her mental health — particularly anxiety — from time to time.
Over the years, the runway model has used her platforms to openly discuss her mental health struggles and empower others. In 2017, Jenner addressed her anxiety in a couple of posts on her now-defunct app (via Self). "Anxiety was a huge hurdle for me to deal with this past year," shared Jenner. "But I think I'm finally learning how to cope." In another post, Jenner shared that she once had bad anxiety while on a plane, and "felt her heart beating a million miles an hour, and I even went a little numb." The year prior, during an episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," Jenner shared her struggles with sleep paralysis, which impacted her motivation to travel for her modeling jobs.
Ultimately, Jenner's personal battle with anxiety led to a four-part web series with Vogue, entitled "Open Minded: Understanding Anxiety." The first episode of the Jenner-hosted mental health initiative, which launched in May 2021, featured expert analysis from Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a clinical psychologist and psychology professor. Now, the model and business owner has spoken up about her anxiety on Hulu's "The Kardashians" and shared the extreme lengths she's undergone to tackle her mental health.

Kendall Jenner's brain scan proves she '100% has anxiety'
Season 2 of "The Kardashians" recently premiered on Hulu, and a new sneak-peak has been released ahead of episode 2. During the clip, Kendall Jenner took center stage with big sister Khloé Kardashian to discuss her decision to undergo a brain scan. "Basically [the doctor] scans your brain and he tells you where it's like firing," Kendall shared, adding that her doctor confirmed that she "100% [has] anxiety. Like I can see it all in your brain." Kendall went on to state that she's interested to see how Khloé's brain looks "after everything that's happened with Tristan." Of course, Jenner was referring to Tristan Thompson's repeated cheating scandals, which eventually led to him fathering a child with fitness model Maralee Nichols, per People.
However, Jenner didn't just single out Khloé. She also expressed interest in seeing how all of her family's brain scans turn out, in particular, Kim Kardashian's. "Just with all the s*** Kim deals with on a daily basis, I would be very interested to see her brain. Cause I'm sure it's just like overload in there." On the other end of the spectrum, Jenner believed that Kourtney Kardashian's brain scan may reveal a happier mindset. "Kourtney's brain would be literally, like, just clouds up there ... little birds flying around," a sentiment that Khloé seemed to share.
Given that the Kardashians have had no trouble broadcasting their trips to the gynecologist, what's a tiny little brain scan?
