I use some supplements are used by a psychiatrist in conjunction with normal meds. Kind of new at this, but my understanding is that ERP is the best treatment available, so getting a therapist who knows how to do this is best. And a psychiatrist who takes a holistic approach can recommend complementary therapies that will help. From a naturopathic standpoint, I believe there is evidence suggesting that exercise and mindfulness practice are beneficial. There is also a theory getting a lot of research now that OCD is worsened by inflammation in the brain, so anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidizing supplements like N-A-C Sustain and Omega 3 (fish or algae oil) are likely to be in the medicine cabinet of some people with OCD.
