I've OCD and i was on a verge of complete failure.
Untill a friend recommended me to try Ashwgandha (Withania somnifera)
After that my life completely changed positively.
I've lost my anxiety since then. I usually take it with a glass of milk.
Now, I've very less stress.

If you haven't encountered it, examine.com is a good resource; they curate research on supplements. In the Human Effect Matrix, in the Anxiety entry, you can see a link to 3 double-blind, placebo controlled studies examining the effects of ashwagandha on anxiety: https://examine.com/rubric/effects/view/a42299063269c89b14ced47e812decef/042f3f19742d86e6bbfa31ee9af3bfa6/all/?PageSpeed=noscript https://examine.com/rubric/effects/view/a42299063269c89b14ce... As far as sourcing, you could look at consumerlab (paid subscription; they do independent testing of supplements).
