Question

Jillian can't bear to leave her home without washing all the linens and floors, vacuuming the carpets, and organizing everything in her cupboards. Because she knows that her behavior is extreme, she has tried to go to work without doing all these things, but she is overcome with such overwhelming dread that she never makes it all the way to the office. Jillian probably has
a. obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
b. generalized anxiety disorder.
c. a phobia.
d. panic disorder.

Answer 1

In order to make any conclusive diagnosis, I would need to bring Jillian
into my office, and conduct a long, slow, complete, private examination.

Where was I ?

Oh, yes.

As I started to say:  Your description of Jillian's behavior is consistent
with a diagnosis of OCD.
