TMS is reserved primarily for treatment refractory cases.There are still lot more medicine regimens avaliable to treat your case and once all regimen fails along with CBT, the doctor himself will suggest the next best option for you .
Moreover, TMs is very expensive and this treatment is available in very few premier institutes of India.

Deep TMS has promising results in OCD particularly. It can be tried on its own or with medications depending on what your doctor recommends. Pricing varies from place to place. It can cost anywhere between 2-6k per session. Generally higher in bigger cities.
Many places offer bulk packages so you may need to check with the individual Neuromodulation clinic.
Next Steps
Consult your doctor and see a specialist in Neuromodulation. This is best via referral from your doctor. All the better if your doctor specialises in both.
