Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Victims repeatedly do things like turn lights on and off a set number of times. Literally, people obsess with doing things compulsively. "I must touch the sink 8 times before getting in the shower" etc. Some minor forms of OCD aren't that unusual and don't effect an individual too badly and can be lived with and/or worked on. Other times, the case is so extreme, an individual cannot function. It may take them several hours to take a shower because of all the rituals they must go through in, before and after.
