it means Obessive Compulsive Disorder.
OCD, is an anxiety disorder and is characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Repetitive behaviors such as handwashing, counting, checking, or cleaning are often performed with the hope of preventing obsessive thoughts or making them go away. Performing these so-called "rituals," however, provides only temporary relief, and not performing them markedly increases anxiety.

obsessive compulsive disorder
u have a thought (let it be: u're hands are contaminated with bacteria)..& u act upon it (u go & wash u're hands)..
I think there are some criteria for the diagnosis as, u consume more than 1 hour in washing u're hand for eg. & it disturb u're daily activity...
