Is my friend a clutterphobe?

Is there such a thing as a 'clutterphobe'? Or should some other label
apply?

Someone who can't relax in a room, unless it is houseproud, colour-
coordinated, matched and aligned, with a minimum of stuff, but all
good brands and in newish condition.

Someone for whom even if the whole world was messy, it would be ok, as
long as they could return home to a perfect flat each night to unwind.

Someone who has forsaken things like work etc. for the last 5 years,
to concentrate on improving their flat to the required standard. But
yet they aren't even close to being satisfied, because of their
perfectionism.

Someone who has bought 4 new couches so far, but each time has decided
afterwards that they aren't right, and have to go. Most of the stuff
she buys ends up being returned or discarded -expensive!

Yes, per turtoni: Obsessive-compulsive disorder seems a good start.

Just make sure you are not suffering from the condition of slobaphilia!
