She ask that hand wash done again and again asking of that you wash the hands..... doubt r in extreme.
Hai your information suggest either Obsessive compulsive disorder or a catatonic state it doesnt look like a mere depression *Kindly get a psychiatrist opinion * you may require to give more information especially on her Pre morbid state, duration of illness,comorbid conditions ,any stresful events in the recent past *With medicaton and counselling she will improve well.If it is catatonia due to a psychiatric cause Some Psychiatrist may prefer Modified Electroconvulsive thearapy as a prefered choice for quicker improvement Thank you
