6,00,000 Psychiatrists are needed in #Delhi against present strength of 300 - Can this be true?

I recently read a detailed article on internet. It said that lifestyle in Delhi is stressful so much that 6,00,000 psychiatrists are needed against present strength of about 300 psychiatrists in Delhi.

I find it hard to believe. But it is also obvious that in so many crimes, effect of mental illness and sudden eruption of madness is visible.

I hope some authentic medical person or journalist will throw light on this.
