Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common psychiatric problem. Symptoms typically include recurring thoughts and repetitive actions in response to the recurring thoughts. A common example is recurring thoughts about germs and dirt, with a need to wash your hands repeatedly to "clean off the germs" However, there are many other examples like sexual thoughts, counting, checking, orderliness, etc. When the suffering is much usually the individuals have secondary depression/ or anxiety. The usual treatments are cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant medicine, or both. Treatment often works well to reduce the symptoms and distress of OCD greatly. Consult a psychiatrist. All the best. This is called OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) with poor insight. The reccurent feeling of contamination is the obsession, and her hand washing is the compulsive behavior. Her shouting, temper tantrums are likely secondary to the disorder. This happens due to serotonin (a neurotransmitter) changes in the mind (brain). She requires surely medicines, SSRI's for recovery. But since she has poor insight and atitude towards medicines, the prognosis appears not so good. First get her educated about the illness, and then start treatment.
