THere is at least one doc in our area that does ECT. Sometimes our docs will refer recalcitrant depressives. One of my friends was a psych nurse that assisted on ECT, back on the 70s and 80s. Today they're using even less current with good effects.
His wife was also a psych nurse in the "olden days" and knows how to do a cold pack and has assisted with insulin shock as well.
It's more than a bit drastic for this situation.
