Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, you daughter has underline obsessive compulsive disorder. It is kind of anxiety disorder and for that better to consult a psychiatrist for her mental status evaluation. In OCD, treatment of choice is antidepressant and she would improve with treatment. You can also take help of psychologist for therapy.
Thanks
