Charlize’s torment MY SECRET ILLNESS

-

While most mums admit they’ve come close to pulling out their hair when raising their kids, Charlize Theron, 41, says motherhood has actually alleviated her anxiety.

The actress, who has two adopted children – son Jackson, six, and daughter August, two – recently revealed her struggle with obsessivec­ompulsive disorder.

“A lot of times I’m walking through the house thinking I’m going senile because I have a little OCD thing,” Charlize admits.

The star says happily her children have calmed her nerves. “My kids help me be less anxious about a lot of that stuff.”
