What Causes OCD Symptoms In A Dementia Patient?

My wife is constantly putting her dry clothes in the dryer because in her mind she thinks that they are wet and has to dry them, I think that she equates cold clothes with being wet, I have tried to tell her that her clothes are dry but it doesn t sink in. She does have dementia.
