Abstract
Washing and constant cleaning, an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). OCD often goes
undiagnosed. Patients obsessively wash, check something or hoard things to relieve themselves
of an overwhelming anxiety, and are fully aware their behavior is abnormal. This research
studies a 23-year-old married woman who sought treatment for a severe washing and cleaning
problem and how the patient was treated. I will discuss how the patient was diagnosed,
and treated with a form of cognitive behavioral psychotherapy or CBT (exposure and response
treatment) and what medications can be used for treatment.
