Like all treatments, I think success varies. It will be worth a try, if your psychiatrist recommends it and you agree. If it's possible that this may be the answer, then you may think it's worth it.
For me personally, it was not helpful. I had 10 sessions from April to June last year. It didn't help me. But I was willing to try. I have severe issues with my memory (even long term). Every time I woke up from ECT I had a terrible headache for the rest of the day and usually slept. I would sometimes wake up and not even know who I was. That was scary. But even with all this, if there was a small chance I could enjoy my life and beat this, then I would even try again.
You need to think about your own situation. I've heard many success stories about ECT, and I am probably in the minority of people that it didn't work for.
