Of course it is your decision, and everyone has different reactions to it. I have had ECT in the past, Before ECT I was so incapicated that I could not get out of bed to do anything, could not eat, think, sleep, etc, all the sypmtoms that go with being severely depressed and was at total rock bottom, work would have been impossible.
ECT saved my life, however it came at a cost, memory loss was and still is an issue. I now have lost the mental capacity to study and continue with my Uni Degree.
I would only consider ECT necessary if I ever get as severely depressed as in the past.
Of course the decision is yours please think very carefully before you decide.Best Wishes from OZ
