Sally is focused on cleaning her home, which she does for three to four hours per day. In particular, the fringe on her rugs must be straight on both sides in all five rooms.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Explanation:

Obssessive-compulsive disorder is characterised by constant unwanted thoughts (called obsessions) that can only be alleviated by performing certain repetitive actions (called compulsions). The relief is often short term.

For example, a person with the constant idea of being dirty or contaminated might engage in rigorous, repetitive cleaning of his environment and washing his hands.
