Obsessive compulsive behaviour is not depression, although someone suffering from obsessive compulsive behaviour may also have been diaognised with depression.
The most practical approach is that:
1. Accept that it is happening.
2. Keep the triggers (things or circumstances that the person may need or that makes the person behave this way) away
3. After every compulsive behaviour (the person should by then have relaxed) talk to them and make them understand that this is not "acceptable" or "appropriate" behaviour. Discuss the concequences with them.
4. Do not have high expections, it will take a lot of time.
5. If this person is also Autistic, there is no use trying to penalise for bad behaviours and reward for good ones, they will not recall. Although it will depend on the level of the Austism Spectrum.

The concise answer is: Certain medications, preferably along with therapy/counseling of the type known as either behavior therapy by itself or the combination called cognitive-behavioral therapy. By the way, depression is not the same as obsessive compulsive disorder, although it is not unheard of to find someone who has both. Interestingly, a number of antidepressant medications seem effective for both depression and obsessive-compulsive. But the therapy approach needs to be tailored in one or the other direction, or combined for someone who has both disorders.

I've recently done some reading about cognitive behaviour therapy, and lots of websites listing the conditions that this type of therapy can help include OCD in their lists, it might be worth looking into it to see if they can help you.

Just my own opinion.
1. Strattera. Read about it here: http://www.inhousepharmacy.com/neurological/atomoxetine.html
2. Antidepressants. See them here: http://www.inhousepharmacy.com/anti-depressants/anti-depressants.html
ADHD, OCD and Tourette syndrome are all the same disorder, symptoms are just different in people. When family studies are done, some in family will have ADHD, some will have OCD, some with Tourette syndrome, and some with all.

there is no "BEST" treatment for "EVERYBODY". for me SERAQUEL helps slow my brain down enough to think more calmly, andhelps the compution to REPEAT. PROZAC helps with the depression, but it took takink three other ANTI-DEPRESANTS before i found one that worked for me. for my ANXIETY i take klonopine. it settles my nerves without knocking me out..get hooked into "MENTAL HEATH SERVICES really helped me with the help of CASE MANAGEMENT. ask your DOCTOR about this.
