Solution
The answer is: Obsessive-compulsive
Explanation:
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These obsessions and compulsions can cause significant anxiety and interfere with daily functioning. For example, a person with OCD might have an obsessive fear of germs and respond by compulsively washing their hands multiple times a day to alleviate their anxiety. The repetitive behaviors are often performed in an attempt to prevent a feared event or situation, even though these actions are not logically connected to the actual prevention of the event.
