Kendall Jenner speaks candidly about her anxiety disorder in a new video for Vogue magazine, sharing her experience of a "really intense and scary" panic attack. Jenner discussed anxiety disorders with clinical psychologist and psychology professor Dr. Ramani Durvasula in the first installment of Vogue's "Open Minds: Uncovering Anxiety" series.

Jenner said her anxiety began in her childhood, but she did not recognize it as such at the time." I remember being really young, I mean like 8, 9, 10, something like that, and having shortness of breath and going to my mother and telling her about it," she said.

"Looking back, I can see that that was obviously anxiety."

"I think it was the fact that I was working so much, and I think that's what got me into the situation that I'm in now, that I lost control in a way," the supermodel continued. 'Because my heart is failing, I can't breathe, and I feel like I need someone to help me.'

"Sometimes I think I'm going to die. Sometimes parts of my body are paralyzed. Sometimes it's really intense and scary," she said.

"There will be people who say, 'Oh, well, what does she have to worry about? I'm not going to sit here and say I'm not blessed. I'm very blessed, I have a wonderful lifestyle. I'm a very blessed girl,'" Jenner said, pointing to her head. 'I still have this.

"I'm still a person at the end of the day," she added."

"Whatever someone has or doesn't have doesn't mean they don't have real emotions and feelings.

Jenner also said she is anxious to return to a more "normal" lifestyle as the COVID-19 restrictions begin to lift. She said, "If I go out to dinner or see a few more friends than I'm used to seeing throughout the past year, that gives me anxiety."

Dr. Durvasula likened the premature return to normal social life to a bends, or decompression sickness. "From this pandemic, if you try to go from being cooped up to throwing yourself into the outside world too soon, especially for those who are anxious, it becomes a 'psychological bends,'" she said. "You have to relax and tackle it. We are all re-learning skills we have lost."
