ECT might be a viable option for you if nothing else seems to work. It's harsh and the side effects can be pretty unsavory, but for some people who don't seem to respond to more traditional methods it has had some positive effects. It seems that it sort of "resets" the brain, balancing out the chemical imbalance that tends to be a hallmark of depression by causing the brain to act "normally," but sometimes it takes multiple treatments and even worse sometimes it still doesn't work.
I really hope that it doesn't come to that for you. Depression can be absolutely devastating, and nobody who hasn't been through it can understand it... Have you had to try any anxiolytics yet?
