Taken together, the 2 Chhattisgarh cities with a page here have an estimated 3.4 million residents (about 34 lakh) in 2025. The largest are Raipur (1.9 million) and Bhilai-Durg (1.4 million). Population figures come from the UN's 2024 urban-area estimates for the biggest cities and from scaled Census 2011 data for the rest.

Applying state-level hospital-bed ratios to these populations gives about 2,000 hospital beds, including some 100 ICU beds, in an estimated 46 hospitals (roughly 25 public and 21 private). Chhattisgarh averages 0.60 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 46% of its beds are private.

On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 4,100 doctors and 7,500 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. 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 Chhattisgarh.

Chhattisgarh has infant mortality of 36 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 71.3 years (India: about 72). This page lists 2 psychiatrists across these cities, and every city and sister city below has its own page with maps, qualifications to check and answers to common questions.

How to choose a psychiatrist

  1. Check the qualification: MBBS with MD (Psychiatry), DPM or DNB (Psychiatry).
  2. 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.
  3. Ask what the consultation includes and whether tests, follow-ups and procedures are charged separately.
  4. Look for clear, itemised communication about costs; avoid anyone who guarantees a cure.
  5. 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.
