This study aims to explore the clinical presentation, treatment efficacy, and management challenges of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in a patient with predominant compulsions related to washing clothes and hands due to fear of contamination.One of the most widely recognized impulses saw in OCD is unnecessary hand washing, frequently determined by an extraordinary apprehension about pollution. This survey looks at the predominance, clinical highlights, hidden components, and treatment moves toward explicitly connected with impulsive hand washing in OCD.The pattern of fixations and impulses sustains tension and misery, prompting critical impedance in personal satisfaction.The case involves a 40-year-old lady diagnosed with OCD, focusing on her compulsive washing behaviours.Treatment approaches for impulsive hand washing in OCD commonly include a blend of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. Specific serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), like fluoxetine and sertraline, are the first-line pharmacological treatment choices. Mental social treatment (CBT), especially openness and reaction counteraction (ERP), is viewed as the highest quality level psychotherapeutic medication for OCD and has exhibited viability in diminishing habitual hand washing ways of behaving.
