How much is a mental health evaluation?

I've been feeling very low and anxious lately, and a friend suggested I get a mental health evaluation. I'm a student and don't have much money, so I need to know how much a mental health evaluation usually costs.

Just like a good biryani has different prices everywhere, a mental health evaluation also varies! 😂 But seriously, it depends on the therapist or psychiatrist and where you are. Expect to pay anywhere from ₹1000 to ₹3000 per session. It's an investment in your well-being, totally worth it.

Ho na, prices can be different for mental health evaluations. Depending on if it's a psychiatrist or a psychologist, and which city, it can be anywhere from 800-2500 per session. Some clinics even offer lower rates. It's good you're checking it out.
