Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

From the brief description of your daughter's problem, it is possible that she could be suffering from an obsessive compulsive disorder. However, a detailed history and a psychological assessment are necessary to make a definite diagnosis.

So, I would suggest that you see a psychiatrist in your place for a detailed evaluation and for starting treatment. There are treatments available for your problems - both in the form of medication as well as psychological therapy, which will help you overcome your symptoms. So, please seek professional help at the earliest.

Wish you all the best.

Regards,
