Kate Actress revealed this in a post that she made recently on her Instagram stories, of a short video clip showed how Njeri was returning her toys in some paper, after presumably playing with them.
The award-winning actress then accompanied the video with a caption saying that the 4-year-old usually does this, and that it was not the first time.
“Kanakuwanga na ocd 😂 always cleaning up after herself” Kate Actress wrote as a caption.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is actually a mental health disorder, in which a person experiences uncontrollable and recurring thoughts (obsessions). A person who has OCD will also engaged in repetitive behaviours.
An example of these behaviour can be e.g
Excessive cleaning or handwashing, arranging things in an orderly way, and also repeatedly checking things if they are how they should be.
According to reports, symptoms of OCD can go away for awhile or can even worsen as time goes by.
If left untreated, OCD symptoms can become severe and interfere with the day to day life of the person
It should be noted that Kate Actress’ daughter Njeri is actually now 4-years-old.
The young one turned 4 in December 2023, and her parents Kate and Philip Karanja alias Phil Director threw her a lavish party then to mark the milestone.
Kate Actress and Phil Director are actually co-parenting to raise their daughter.
This is because they amicably agreed to separate in September 2023, after their long-term relationship failed to work out
