My friend seems to wash her hands all the time and generally seems to be on edge about being clean...

...I think she might have an OCD but I don’t want to say something in cause I make it worse. What should I do?

an OCD is an inner urge causing a person to repeat an action over and over again. This affects many people in different ways, it could be that they are obsessed with being clean or continually check that things are switched off e.g. cooker. Your friend may have An OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) but you have to be very careful how you handle the situation. A person who helps with our website has had problems themselves with OCD when she was in her late teens, she found information available on www.ocdaction.org.uk or contact them by email info@ocd.org.uk .
