An 8-year-old male presents to his pediatrician with dry, cracking skin on his hands. His mother states that this problem has been getting progressively worse over the past couple of months. During this time period, she has noticed that he also has become increasingly concerned with dirtiness. He tearfully admits to washing his hands many times a day because "everything has germs." When asked what happens if he doesn't wash them, he responds that he just feels very worried until he does. With which other condition is this disorder associated?
