I am psychiatrist medicines. I also consulted an endocrinologist and he told me to leave all sugar and simple carbohydrates. He advised me to eat good proteins and complex carbohydrates. He told me take vitamins but never told me what. He does not give more than 5 min of time.

2. Which fruits can I take.
3. I am veggies. Can I do it without non veg.
4. Is it true that right nutrition can treat OCD.
AnswerAG,
You should take a multivitamin and Omega 3. Check the label of your multivitamin to see if it has Chromium or not-if there is no Chromium in the multi, you will want to take that also.
To answer your other questions:
1. There is absolutely no difference between synthetic and natural.
2. You can eat any fruits EXCEPT bananas and grapes. Don't eat more than 2-3 servings of fruit daily, otherwise you will be eating too much sugar.
3. You can eat any vegetables EXCEPT corn, carrots, peas, and potatoes. These are very high in sugar and simple carbs.
4. OCD is caused mostly by genetic factors, so good nutrition cannot cure you. However, Omega 3 especially can help with the symptoms.
Good luck!
