Some people are compelled by their religion so much that they develop a compulsion to pray. The psychology associated with compulsive personality disorder treats such a compulsion as anything but saintly.

There are many triggers to psychological behaviors and the ones that apply to compulsive personality disorder could come from anywhere.

While many housekeepers like to keep things nice and orderly, a person with a compulsive personality disorder will take that orderliness to an extreme that will surprise everyone.
