A person who repeatedly washes their hands when they are clean is showing signs of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). OCD is characterized by unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that a person feels driven to perform, often in an attempt to reduce anxiety or prevent a feared outcome. In this case, excessive hand washing can be a compulsion linked to obsessive fears about cleanliness or contamination.
