Dear Avijata,
Ativan and lonazep belong to a group of anxiolytics called as benzodiazepines. Both can not act as an antidepressant. Both can reduce the anxiety part of depression giving you some relief.
Oleanz 10 mg is a major tranquilizer given for psychotic conditions.

The medicine works on your anxiety, thereby reducing it. Once the anxiety is reduced, you do not feel the need to do compulsions as often. Obsessions (thoughts) take time to go away. The medicines can be taken along with psychotherapy sessions which work directly on your compulsions (repetitive behaviors) and obsessions (thoughts). Psychotherapy is very effective in ocd and when done along with medicine, promising early results can be seen.
