Like you, I've tried lots of meds and therapies. I also have social anxiety. My conclusion is this: If social anxiety is severe enough to keep you socially isolated, then that's what's driving the depression. I think the social anxiety has to be addressed, or all the treatments in the world won't make all that much of a difference. At least, that's what I believe is true about me.
Personally, I'm afraid of ECT.
