Benzos work in the short run, but in the long run, they are so habit forming and tolerance producing people get into a mess down the road.
They are GABA enhancers, and GABA is being looked at now in earnest for antidepressant activity. I believe some new drugs are in the pipeline for this.

Benzos reduce nerve activity and also have some anticonvulsant actions. (anticonvulsants are also used to block pain).
