Among the worldwide statistics it is presented approximately 2% of population and the symptoms include obsessive thoughts of fear of contamination by germs or microbes and compulsive acts of repetitive cleaning, checking, and intrusive thoughts of obsessions and inordinate concern with orderliness and symmetry.
