Yes, if he is a licensed Psychiatrist registered with the state or national medical council, you can visit for treatment. Any medical College would verify the doctors credentials before recruiting them to assistant professor or HoD posts. If you want to confirm their credentials, you can check online as well. Any doctor with a degree in psychiatry recognised in India can prescribe medication.
