How Can Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Be Treated?

Hi, I am Amar from India. I suffer from ocd, tics. i recovered a lot. used medicines and relaxation techniques myself like pranayama, meditation. But not completely recovered. Is any new medicine for ocd coming in the market. I read about some new research related to glutamate and other medicines in the pipeline.
