Bareilly has an estimated 1.4 million (14 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 58 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Mid (1-2M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.4% a year, it would reach about 1.6 million by 2030, so demand for psychiatrists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Uttar Pradesh's 1.25 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 1,800 hospital beds in Bareilly, including about 88 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 110 hospitals (about 29 public and 78 private). That is about 800 residents for every bed and around 16 beds per hospital on average. Measured against the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people, the city would need roughly 2,500 more beds, which is one reason private clinics and hospitals carry so much of the load.
The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 1,700 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Bareilly, supported by around 3,200 nurses and midwives. Mental health is the thinnest part of this workforce: the national average is only about 0.3 psychiatrists per 100,000 people (WHO Mental Health Atlas 2014), so a population this size would have only a few dozen if it matched that average. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many psychiatrists practise in Bareilly.
On health outcomes, Uttar Pradesh's infant mortality rate is 35 per 1,000 live births (2024), above the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 69.6 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 73% of hospital beds in Uttar Pradesh are private, so most people weigh private psychiatrists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 psychiatrist for Bareilly, and 14 other cities in Uttar Pradesh have their own psychiatrist page below.

How to choose a psychiatrist in Bareilly
- Check the qualification: MBBS with MD (Psychiatry), DPM or DNB (Psychiatry).
- Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register (psychologists register with the Rehabilitation Council of India, not the NMC) and note the registration number.
- Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
- Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
- Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
Consultations are confidential. The Mental Healthcare Act, 2017 protects patient rights. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medicines; psychologists provide therapy and are not medical doctors.
Healthcare in Bareilly: the bigger picture
No public source counts hospitals city by city, so these figures are estimates: roughly 1,800 beds and 110 hospitals for Bareilly. Uttar Pradesh state averages about 1.3 hospital beds per 1,000 people, close to the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4. The private sector holds about 73% of beds in Uttar Pradesh.
For context on health outcomes in Uttar Pradesh: the state infant mortality rate is 35 per 1,000 live births (2024), higher than the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 69.6 years, below the national estimate of 72. These are state-wide figures, not city measurements.
Mental health professionals are in short supply across India. At the national average of about 0.3 psychiatrists per 100,000 people (WHO Mental Health Atlas 2014), a population like Bareilly's would have only around 4 psychiatrists - a rough national-average figure, not a count - so it can help to book early and to ask about follow-up and counselling support.

Frequently asked questions: Psychiatrists in Bareilly
How do I find the best psychiatrist in Bareilly?
There is no single best doctor for everyone: the right choice depends on your condition, budget and location. A good approach is to shortlist two or three psychiatrists, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register (psychologists register with the Rehabilitation Council of India, not the NMC), and compare facilities and communication. On this page, Dr. Rohit Singhal (POONAM HOSPITAL, opposite GREEN PARK, Pawan Vihar, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh 243006) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a psychiatrist in Bareilly?
Call the clinic or hospital number shown on the listing, use WhatsApp where it is shown, or visit during outpatient hours. Ask about the consultation fee, whether an appointment is needed, and which documents or earlier reports to bring.
How much does a psychiatrist consultation cost in Bareilly?
Fees depend on the doctor's experience, the type of facility and the tests or procedures involved, and we do not publish unverified prices. Ask the clinic for the consultation fee and any follow-up charges when you call; government hospitals generally charge much less than private clinics.
Which hospitals in Bareilly offer psychiatrist services?
Bareilly has both government and private hospitals; availability of psychiatrist services varies. Use the listings above as a starting point and confirm departments and timings by phone.
What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who diagnoses mental health conditions, prescribes medicines and can combine them with therapy. A psychologist is trained in counselling and psychotherapy but cannot prescribe medicines. Many people benefit from seeing both.
Is it normal to see a psychiatrist for anxiety or low mood in Bareilly?
Yes. Anxiety and depression are common and treatable. Early consultation often shortens recovery, and a psychiatrist can tell you whether therapy, medicines or both are suitable.
Are psychiatric consultations confidential?
Yes. Doctors are bound by medical confidentiality and the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017 recognises the rights of patients, including the right to confidentiality and to make decisions about their care.
How many hospital beds does Bareilly have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 1,800 beds (around 88 ICU beds) for Bareilly. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
