Psychiatrists in Cuttack at a glance
Quick facts about Cuttack and its healthcare system. Hospital, bed and doctor figures are estimates scaled from state and national data, because no public source counts them city by city.

With around 9.0 lakh (896,000) people (2025 estimate, from Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate), Cuttack is number 78 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Small (<1M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 1.0 million by 2030, so demand for psychiatrists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Odisha's 0.54 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 490 hospital beds in Cuttack, including about 24 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 47 hospitals (about 34 public and 13 private). That is about 1852 residents for every bed and around 10 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 2,200 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 1,100 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Cuttack, supported by around 2,000 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 Cuttack.
On health outcomes, Odisha's infant mortality rate is 28 per 1,000 live births (2024), above the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 71.8 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 28% of hospital beds in Odisha are private, so most people weigh private psychiatrists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 psychiatrist for Cuttack, and 1 other city in Odisha have their own psychiatrist page below.

How to choose a psychiatrist in Cuttack
- 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 what the consultation includes and whether tests, follow-ups and procedures are charged separately.
- Look for clear, itemised communication about costs; avoid anyone who guarantees a cure.
- 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 Cuttack: the bigger picture
No public source counts hospitals city by city, so these figures are estimates: roughly 490 beds and 47 hospitals for Cuttack. Odisha state averages about 0.5 hospital beds per 1,000 people, below the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4. The private sector holds about 28% of beds in Odisha.
Well-known hospitals and institutions commonly named for Cuttack include SCB Medical College. Government outpatient departments can be crowded, which is one reason many people also consult a private Psychiatrist - ask each place about timings and documents to bring. (General-knowledge list; verify before relying on it.)
For context on health outcomes in Odisha: the state infant mortality rate is 28 per 1,000 live births (2024), higher than the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 71.8 years, near 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 Cuttack's would have only around 3 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.
