My mother is so obsessed about washing her hands.every now and then she. looks to wash even papers and electronic equipments.is she i'll?

Just very clean: Hopefully all that washing will keep her from catching germs and keep her from getting ill. If she takes it too far, she may have an obsessive compulsive disorder. OCD may require therapy and or medications if it becomes disruptive to her life.
