Denise;
Although ECT may be very effective for depression, 50% of patients will relapse back into depression within one year. I personally believe ECT should be reserved for those who are psychotically depressed or are in immediate danger of suicide. Have you tried Parnate? It is MAOI like Nardil and can have fewer side effects for some. Insomnia seems to be the most common but that can usually be corrected by reducing dosage and/or combining with benzo/hypnotic.

Take care,
Paul
