I would be a bit concerned if your doctor is pushing ECT so early. Everyone reacts differently to ECT, but for me it did nothing to help my treatment-resistant depression. What did help me though were MAOI's. I'm currently on 60mg of Parnate and it has helped my mood.
I finished my TMS treatments about 2 weeks ago and it has been the single best thing when it comes to alleviating my depression. I must stress though that what works for one person may not work for another. The best thing you can do though is find a psychiatrist who you really like and feel comfortable with --- that was the turning point for me.
-Hope you feel better
