thats definitely ocd. but most of everyone has it at least a little bit. i myself have it a little bad. they have medications to calm this stuff down but in her case it doesnt seem too bad.
Have you ever asked your grandmother what would happen if she didn't keep things so tidy? With OCD, there is usually a[n irrational] consequence that keeps someone from slipping up in their daily routine.
It could, but your Grandma might just be very tidy, too.
Lots of older people are.
Your Mom? Don't be so quick to diagnose people.
A little bit of knowledge can be dangerous.
