Valerie is most likely to be diagnosed with Obsessive-compulsive disorder, is a mental disorder of anxiety, in which people have thoughts, feelings, ideas and repetitive sensations (obsession) that drive undesirable and repetitive behaviors. Causes can be brain injuries, infections, malfunction of the brain, but the one with the greatest support so far is the genetic cause.
