I've done both unilateral and bilateral ECT and neither helped me at all. I was just depressed. I don't know about anxiety. Bilateral shot my memory for a while. I couldn't remember people who I knew fairly well, couldn't recall street names. I had to do the whole 3-1/2 weeks of treatment in the hospital because I was like a zombie afterwards -- would sleep for hours then wake up not knowing where I was or who any of the doctors or nurses were.
Anyway, it didn't work for me. But I know other people who swear by it including Kitty Dukakis, a neighbor, who co-wrote a book praising it (called Shocked)
