I don't know if ECT is actually an option for you, and I know it has come back into acceptance as a treatment for extreme resistant treatment, but I have never seen a positive outcome (in limited experience, I admit). My only point is to not do something so drastic until it is absolutely clear that you've tried all other options and have to do it.
