With around 7.0 lakh (695,000) people (2025 estimate, from Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate), Ujjain is number 95 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 0.8 million by 2030, so demand for psychiatrists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Madhya Pradesh's 0.79 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 550 hospital beds in Ujjain, including about 28 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 8 hospitals (about 4 public and 4 private). That is about 1266 residents for every bed and around 69 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 1,500 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 860 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Ujjain, supported by around 1,600 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 Ujjain.
On health outcomes, Madhya 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 70.6 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 52% of hospital beds in Madhya Pradesh are private, so most people weigh private psychiatrists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 psychiatrist for Ujjain, and 4 other cities in Madhya Pradesh have their own psychiatrist page below.

How to choose a psychiatrist in Ujjain
- 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 Ujjain: the bigger picture
No public source counts hospitals city by city, so these figures are estimates: roughly 550 beds and 8 hospitals for Ujjain. Madhya Pradesh state averages about 0.8 hospital beds per 1,000 people, below the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4. The private sector holds about 52% of beds in Madhya Pradesh.
For context on health outcomes in Madhya 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 70.6 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 Ujjain'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.
