Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -OCD is not a matter of wants or preferences. OCD is a mental health disorder where individuals repeatedly experience unwanted obsessions and engage in compulsive behaviors. Therefore, it’s inaccurate to say that people with OCD clean do it because they love cleaning. Instead, they do it because they feel compelled to.

Detailed explanation-2: -Repeating compulsions can take up a lot of time, and you might avoid certain situations that trigger your OCD. This can mean that you’re not able to go to work, see family and friends, eat out or even go outside. Obsessive thoughts can make it hard to concentrate and leave you feeling exhausted.

Detailed explanation-3: -OCD is based on fear. OCD rituals are responses to obsessions. “Neat freaks” do not have obsessions like people with OCD do. Not everyone with OCD is focused on cleanliness.
