Obsessive Compulsive Disorder .. Start with a good psychiatrist who can properly diagnose it and prescribe meds if necessary. You might want to see a psychotherapist who can do ongoing therapy like CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) that might work. Which city?

a woman with abnormal sexual desires \nnymphomaniacal: (used of women) affected with excessive sexual desire\n\nNymphomania is not a disease or a clinical condition. More generically known as "promiscuity," nymphomania is a word that refers specifically to women who have an "excessive" or "insatiable sex drive." For men, the equivalent is known as Satyriasis or Don Juanism. Often, the term "nympho" is used in a derogatory way. In some instances, a woman may be called a "nympho" because she enjoys sex. In other instances, a woman might get stuck with this label by a partner who feels inadequate about his or her sexual desire or performance. Levels of sexual desire vary, as does the way they are perceived.\n\nWhen having sex is seen as one's sole priority, resulting in the neglect of other important facets of life (e.g., working, socializing, and sleeping), an addiction or compulsion to sex is considered. Sexual addiction and compulsivity include any sexual behavior when "had" or done in an obsessive, uncontrollable, and/or irrational way that can become self-destructive. People with this diagnosis feel, and indeed may have, little or no control over sex, and medication may be in order.

There are many disorders in which a person acts the opposite if who he/she really is. It could be bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or some forms of major depression. I'd recommend researching the different mental health disorders and comparing symptoms to see if any more accurately describe what you want to know.

It sounds like OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder)\nMany people have it to a certain degree or another. It's weird but harmless, unless it interferes with daily life. If these little rituals get in the way of a productive day, I suggest you see a specialist.

I can't say that you would qualify as someone with an obsessive-compulsive disorder, but based on your post, you are certainly heading in that direction. \n\nAmericans are very obssessed about germs, odors, and the such (so are the Japanese). It's made worse by our being constantly bombarded by commercials making the issue seem more important than it really is. \n\nWhile good hygiene is obviously important, it can be carried to extreme. The skin is your first barrier against disease, and you can break down that barrier by over-cleaning it, drying it out, and washing away the natural oils that coat our skin.\n\nAlso, compulsive cleaning and other acts that over-protect the body have the potential to actually lower your immunity because you are not allowing the body to be challenged by normal everyday bacteria. As a result, your body has less resistance to normal bacteria and can be even more susceptible to the dangerous ones when they come along.\n\nBeing aware that you have a problem is the first step. You say that you resist some of your urges to clean so that is a positive sign. But if you feel you are getting out of control, you might want to speak with a counselor and find out where these compulsions come from.\n\nGood luck it you.

Its all of the above.\n\nIt is certainly a disease, but the causes of this disease are a combination of a mental problem (mostly self-image problems: seeing oneself as an inferior person) and influence by others (others who do it, so its the "in" thing).\n\nAs to how much each plays a role likely depends on the individual case.

A syndrome of mental depression and suicidal tendencies, in which the patient complains of having lost everything: possessions, part of or entire body, often believing that he or she has died and is a walking corpse. This delusion is usually expanded to the degree that the patient might claim that he can smell his own rotting flesh and feel worms crawling through his skin. The latter phenomenon is a recurring experience of people chronically deprived of sleep or suffering amphetamine/cocaine psychosis. Paradoxically, being "dead" often gives the patient the nation of being immortal. Other megalomelancholic ideas may be present. Aetiology unknown. Seen especially in manic-depressive patients or in certain brain syndromes.
