The question

Does a girl's seeing and looking at a man cause semen to be discharged and affect the validity of her fasting and prayer, especially given the presence of obsessive-compulsive disorder regarding ritual purity and the discharge of normal secretions?

The answer

"Obsessive whispering (waswasa) is a serious illness. The cure for it is to turn away from it and not pay any attention to it. Your prayers and fasting are valid. A mere glance at a man does not necessitate the emission of semen. You must ignore the doubt concerning the emission of semen and build upon the original state, which is its non-emission, until you attain absolute certainty otherwise. Doubt about the emission of semen does not necessitate a ritual bath (). The vaginal discharge of a woman is pure and invalidates ablution (wudu'), but it does not necessitate a ritual bath."
