Hand washing

My son is 26. He washes his hands many times a day and is generally worrying about cleaneless and germs. He will not eat in restaurants because he does not trust forks and spoons.

He is smart, he was an excellent student, now he is withdrawn.

Is he suffering from depression? The doctor of our little town gave him drugs for depression.

Thanks

Mary
