A person who is obsessed with things can be referred to as a "collector" if their focus is on gathering specific items. Alternatively, they might be described as having "obsessive tendencies" or being "obsessive-compulsive" if their fixation significantly impacts their daily life. The term "enthusiast" is also applicable when the obsession is tied to a particular hobby or interest.

Yes. OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) is an anxiety disorder that involves not only anxiety, but the hyper-focused need to perform a certain - usually unnecessary - task to feel 'right', which is also seen in patients with ADHD. Patients with either ADHD or OCD both share the common sign of being obsessive: Someone with ADHD might be almost 'obsessed' with something, whether it be a school subject, a computer game, a book, or anything else, and wouldn't feel good or satisfied until this obsession was 'fed' (by playing the game continuously or learing everything about the ceratin subject) - and people with OCD are very much like this as well.
