A person who repeatedly washes their hands even when they are clean is showing signs of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). In OCD, individuals often have obsessions (intrusive thoughts) and compulsions (repetitive behaviors) that they feel driven to perform in order to alleviate anxiety or prevent a feared event. Handwashing can be a common compulsion associated with obsessive fears related to germs or contamination.
