Hi There,

Firstly, please note that Psychiatrists are mental health professionals, who are basically Medical Graduates, and hence are allowed to administer medications to their client.

At the same time, as a Psychiatrists one is permitted to individually function on their own by setting up their own clinic.

But since India is still a little skeptical when it comes to discussing Mental health issues, that they would not mind visiting nursing homes or polyclinics or hospitals, since everything or rather all services are available under one roof, so no one would know about their visit to a Psychiatrists.

Please note that psychiatrists, these days work as a Visiting doctors and are associated with more than one clinic or hospitals.

In case of working hours, in case of their own clinics, generally, one client takes around 2 hours for the therapists. So generally their timings can range from 5 to 6 hours either morning or evening.
And if they are associated with other clinics, then generally clinics allocate time, which is generally 2 hours a day, may be alternate days or very day.

Hope this answers your query...
