Vitamin B12 supplements helps a lot in OCD

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for asking from HCM

Various studies have found that individuals with OCD have high propensity to have vitamin B12 deficiency. So it is advisable to use Vitamin B12 supplements especially Methylcobalamine in OCD patients along with conventional treatment.

Cobaday, Mecokind, Methcobal etc are commonly available brands for the supplement. Take the drug with proper prescription only.
