Dear Lybrate User I would suggest to take a second opinion from a Clinical Psychologist as we have other very effective therapies to treat depression and OCD. There are therapies like CBT cognitive behaviour therapy, exposure technique, guided imagery, yoga & meditation, acupuncture, biofeedback, aroma therapy, homeopathy etc. ECT should be used with caution. Take Care.
