Probably they are signs but like I said, if it isn't affecting her day-to-day life then there really is no harm in what she is doing.  Take care.

I'm not qualified to diagnose people on the site.  It could be that your mom suffers from ritualistic OCD but really it is only a problem if it interferes with a person's daily life.  Is it bothering your mom or is it just something that you notice?
