Kim Kardashian shares her brain health struggles with the public.
The 45-year-old reality star decided to have a brain scan after learning she might have an aneurysm, and when her doctor reviewed the results, he discovered there were “holes” in her brain.
On the latest episode of the family’s reality show “The Kardashians,” she visited the doctor with Scott Disick to “see what my brain looks like.”
The two underwent scans, and then psychiatrist Daniel Amen met with them to go over the results.

He started by telling Kardashian that she had a “beautiful brain” and that it was “not a brain that causes Alzheimer’s.”
“You are an amazing person when it comes to positivity,” Dr. continued. Amen, “so you’re not too stressed, anxious, or depressed.”
He showed her another image from the scan and she said, “What are these holes?” he asked.
“Yeah, I don’t like it,” he admitted. “So the holes mean low activity. … The front part of your brain is less active than it should be. With your frontal lobes now working, it’s harder to manage stress. That’s not good for you, especially when you’re studying and getting ready to go to the board.”

At the time of filming, Kardashian was preparing to take the California bar exam. He later announced that he had failed.
Later, discussing the scan results, he said on camera: “This can’t happen. It absolutely can’t happen. I don’t accept it.”
Dr. “It could be the chronic stress you’re under, considering taking boards in a few months and working 10 hours a day, among other things going on in your life,” Amen explained. “But we have to make it better.”
