I have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and am currently taking Sertraline 50mg daily. Can you suggest any specific foods or dietary supplements that can help relieve my symptoms?

Asked by Female, 28 · 2 months ago

While no specific diet cures OCD, eating balanced meals with complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and healthy fats can help stabilise your mood. Regarding supplements, some evidence suggests that N-acetylcysteine (NAC), Inositol, and Omega-3 fatty acids may support OCD symptoms. However, you must be extremely cautious. Supplements like St. John?s Wort must be strictly avoided, as they can cause a dangerous interaction called serotonin syndrome when combined with Sertraline. Please always consult your doctor before starting any new supplements to ensure they are safe for your specific treatment plan.
