I Can't Stop 2

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.
