Nanded has an estimated 7.4 lakh (744,000) residents in 2025, based on Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate. That makes it number 90 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Small (<1M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 0.8 million by 2030, so demand for psychiatrists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Maharashtra's 1.83 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 1,400 hospital beds in Nanded, including about 68 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 19 hospitals (about 4 public and 15 private). That is about 546 residents for every bed and around 71 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 870 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 920 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Nanded, supported by around 1,700 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 Nanded.
On health outcomes, Maharashtra's infant mortality rate is 13 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 74.5 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 78% of hospital beds in Maharashtra are private, so most people weigh private psychiatrists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 psychiatrist for Nanded, and 18 other cities in Maharashtra have their own psychiatrist page below.

How to choose a psychiatrist in Nanded
- 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 Nanded: the bigger picture
No public source counts hospitals city by city, so these figures are estimates: roughly 1,400 beds and 19 hospitals for Nanded. Maharashtra state averages about 1.8 hospital beds per 1,000 people, above the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4. The private sector holds about 78% of beds in Maharashtra.
For context on health outcomes in Maharashtra: the state infant mortality rate is 13 per 1,000 live births (2024), lower than the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 74.5 years, above 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 Nanded's would have only around 2 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.
Before you visit: what to carry
- Write down your symptoms and when they began
- Note sleep, appetite and energy changes
- Bring a family member if you are comfortable
Frequently asked questions: Psychiatrists in Nanded
How do I find the best psychiatrist in Nanded?
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, Umang Hospital (UMANG HOSPITAL, VIP Rd, near gate no 2, new mondha, Vishnu Nagar, Nanded, Maharashtra 431602) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a psychiatrist in Nanded?
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 Nanded?
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 Nanded offer psychiatrist services?
Nanded 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 Nanded?
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.
Where can I get immediate help for a mental health crisis?
Call Tele-MANAS on 14416 (free and available round the clock) or dial 108 for emergency services. You can also go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call a trusted person to stay with you.
How many hospital beds does Nanded have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 1,400 beds (around 68 ICU beds) for Nanded. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
