Cleanliness disease and aggressive

My mother has cleanliness problem and she baths for 4 hours using detergent powder and wash Hands continously. Excessive use of water. She does not wants to touch anything which is not clean. Even if she goes to pee or toilet she wants someone else to clean her and the washroom. It's been 10 years she is practicing this. She does not want to visit any doctor. She becomes very furious if something is nt according to her. She hates dogs. She dislikes black color. She closes door again and again if someone goes out or in. Please advise. Bcz we tried best to counsel her at home. But she does nt want to go to any doctor.

This is beyond normal behaviour pattern. It's called obsessive compulsive disorder. It needs to be treated urgently. Ideally it must have been treated years back since long course of illness only makes the treatment difficult. But anyways, she needs to be taken to a psychiatrist at the earliest so that medications can be started.
