First of all it is to be seen that these two are co-morbid or one led to other. After complete assessment by a Psychiatrist management will be considered. There are biological, psychological and social interventions. Pharmacotherapy is must for moderate and severe Depression and OCD. Usually those antidepressants would be used which are effective in both conditions. Psychological intervention usually carried out by Clinical Psychologist is CBT. The social intervention is to educate family about it so that they act therapeutically.
If the diagnosis is correct and you don't have any other medical disease. An antidepressant prescribed by a qualified Psychiatrist who has seen you and interviewed you may help both conditions.
For long term benefits use medication and therapy with regular follow up of your consultant psychiatrist
