ECT is required if its clinical disorder and severity levels are extremely high....please ask your primary psychiatrist to give you medicines along with psychotherapy. But you will have to be regular for your psychotherapies.
Next Steps
Workout is something I will suggest to start immediately....depending on your physical condition.

It's a mode of treatment for treatment un responsiveness or when you need faster response. Even after you get better with ect you will have to continue medications. It's not a permanent solution , it's an add on treatment

Definitely ECT is temporary and should be used when medicine don't work. After taking complete cycle of ECT you have to continue medicine with the consultation of your psychiatrist.
