Just a quick word--I've done a round of ECT and it did help me. I was hospitalized during the treatment for severe depression and remained there for the 3+ weeks of treatment.
Even better for me, though, has been TMS (trans-magnetic stimulation), which is non-invasive and for me it begins working almost immediately. The downside is many insurance companies don't cover it and it is expensive. But it, more than ECT, has saved my life. Literally.
Best of luck to you!
