Psychiatrists in Maharashtra at a glance
Quick facts for the Maharashtra cities listed here. Hospital, bed and doctor figures are estimates scaled from state and national data, because no public source counts them city by city.

Taken together, the 19 Maharashtra cities with a page here have an estimated 54.2 million residents (about 542 lakh) in 2025. The largest are Mumbai (22.1 million), Pune (7.5 million) and Nagpur (3.2 million), followed by 16 smaller cities. 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 99,000 hospital beds, including some 5,000 ICU beds, in an estimated 1,400 hospitals (roughly 300 public and 1,100 private). Maharashtra averages 1.83 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 78% of its beds are private.
On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 67,000 doctors and 1,20,000 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 Maharashtra.
Maharashtra has infant mortality of 13 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 74.5 years (India: about 72). This page lists 19 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.
General information compiled from public sources (MoHFW, SRS 2024, CDDEP / One Health Trust, UN WPP 2024, Census 2011); estimates, not official counts, and not medical advice.

- Depression
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- OCD

When to see a psychiatrist
- Low mood, loss of interest or hopelessness lasting more than two weeks
- Constant worry, panic attacks or fear that disrupts daily life
- Unusual thoughts, hearing voices or extreme mood swings
- Alcohol or drug use that you cannot cut down
- A child with sudden changes in behaviour or school performance
Emergency: If you or someone you know is thinking of self-harm, call Tele-MANAS on 14416 (free, 24x7) or 108, or go to the nearest hospital emergency department. India's free ambulance number is 108.
How to choose a psychiatrist
- 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.
Frequently asked questions: Psychiatrists in Maharashtra
Which cities in Maharashtra have listed psychiatrists?

How many psychiatrists are listed in Maharashtra?
This page shows 19 listed providers across 19 cities. It is a starting point rather than a complete register, so use the qualification and registration checks on each city page before booking.
Who is the best psychiatrist in Maharashtra?
There is no single best doctor for everyone: the right choice depends on your condition, budget and city. 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. Dr. Prakhar D. Jain (Mumbai) is the first listing on this page - confirm details 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 Maharashtra?
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.
