Kindly start with medication..... Initial treatment consist of 3mths duration of a medicine with adquate dose and then we need to wait for remmison period which is of 6mths duration. Then maintance dose to be continued. Along with medication you also. Need to go for psychotherapy (CBT).... It also is a useful treatment for ocd

It depends upon your symptoms. Therapy can help in some symptoms. 8 years is a long time and I feel you may need medicines. If the medicines you've taken before are causing some side effects/discomfort, you should follow up with your treating Psychiatrist and inform about the same. Changing the dose and/or medicine might help.
