Dear Reader,
The symptoms do point towards OCD and its very common disorder. Depending upon the severity of the illness we need to start medications along with cognitive behavioral therapy, on regular medications and therapy OCD can be successfully treated. Convince her about this illness and get evaluated from a psychiatrist.
