Let’s paint a vivid picture of Dr. Harjeet Singh, a psychiatrist who’s become something of a quiet legend in the bustling city of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Instead of a dry list of credentials, imagine walking into his clinic, tucked away in the lively Moti Nagar area, and hearing the hum of life outside—rickshaw horns, street vendors calling out, and the faint clink of tea glasses. Inside, it’s a different world: calm, focused, and grounded by the presence of a man who’s spent decades unraveling the complexities of the human mind.
Scene: Dr. Harjeet Singh’s Clinic, Charbagh, Lucknow. Late afternoon.
The waiting room is cozy, with soft chairs and a stack of well-thumbed magazines. A patient, fidgeting nervously, whispers to the receptionist, “Is Dr. Singh as good as they say?”
“Oh, you’re in for a treat,” the receptionist replies with a warm smile. “He’s got this way of making you feel… heard. Like you’re not just another case.”
Dr. Harjeet Singh, in his early 60s, steps out to greet the patient. He’s unassuming—gray hair neatly combed, a crisp kurta, and a pair of glasses that seem to carry the weight of countless stories. His voice is steady, almost soothing. “Come on in, let’s have a chat,” he says, gesturing toward his office. The door closes softly, but the sense of trust lingers in the air.
The Man Behind the Stethoscope
Dr. Singh’s journey into psychiatry wasn’t a straight path. Picture a young Harjeet, a bright-eyed medical student at K.G. Medical University in Lucknow, where he earned his MBBS and later his MD in Psychiatry. “I didn’t choose psychiatry right away,” he once shared in a rare interview with a local paper. “But I kept meeting people whose pain wasn’t in their bodies—it was in their minds. That’s when I knew.”
He went on to become a Professor of Psychiatry at G.R.C. Medical College, shaping young doctors while working hands-on at Gandhi Memorial and Associated Hospitals. Later, he joined Nishat Hospital, one of Lucknow’s respected institutions, before opening his own clinic at 289/142, Moti Nagar, Charbagh. His schedule is unconventional—consultations run from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM and then late into the night, 10:30 PM to 1:30 AM, Monday through Saturday. “Mental health doesn’t keep office hours,” he’s been known to say with a wry smile.

Scene: A consultation with Dr. Singh.
A young woman, let’s call her Priya, sits across from him, clutching a tissue. She’s been battling anxiety for months, feeling like she’s drowning in her own thoughts.
“Dr. Singh, I don’t know why I can’t just… snap out of it,” she says, her voice trembling.
He leans forward slightly, his eyes kind but piercing. “Priya, the mind isn’t a switch you flip. It’s more like a river—sometimes it flows smoothly, sometimes it floods. We’re just going to figure out how to steer it.”
Over the next hour, he listens intently, asking questions that cut through the fog of her worries. He explains how anxiety can trick the brain into a loop and suggests a mix of therapy and, if needed, medication. “We’ll go at your pace,” he assures her. By the time she leaves, she’s still nervous—but there’s a spark of hope in her eyes.
A Reputation Built on Care
Dr. Singh’s expertise spans depression, anxiety, stress, mood disorders, and even alcohol addiction. He’s not just a doctor; he’s a guide for those lost in mental health struggles. His clinic doubles as an internal medicine practice, but it’s his psychiatric work that draws people from across Lucknow and beyond. With consultation fees ranging from ₹600 to ₹1000, he’s accessible to many, though his late-night hours hint at his dedication to those who need him most.
Patients rave about him. Online reviews—11 of them, averaging 4.1 out of 5—call him empathetic and effective. “Dr. Singh saved my life,” one patient wrote. “He listened when no one else did.” Another dubbed him “Lucknow’s best-kept secret for mental health.” His peers agree: as a member of the Indian Psychiatric Society (IPS) and the Indian Association of Private Psychiatry (IAPS), he’s respected for both his skill and his heart.
Scene: A community talk on mental health.
Dr. Singh stands at a podium in a local community center, addressing a small crowd. The topic is heavy—suicide prevention—but his tone is light, almost conversational. “The mind can be a tricky friend,” he says, pausing to let the words sink in. “It tells you you’re alone, but you’re not. Reach out. Talk. Even a small step can change everything.”
A journalist from the Times of India, scribbling notes, later quotes him in an article, cementing his role as a voice for mental health awareness in Lucknow.
The Quirks and Questions
Some online sources oddly list Dr. Singh’s experience as “0 years,” which doesn’t add up. A professor and seasoned psychiatrist with decades of practice? Clearly, it’s a glitch in the digital world. His real experience shines through in the stories of patients who’ve found solace in his care and the respect he commands in medical circles.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Singh is a bit of a mystery. He’s private, rarely sharing personal details. But those who know him describe a man who loves a good cup of chai and has a knack for quoting Urdu poetry when the mood strikes. “The heart and mind are old friends,” he once said to a colleague, “but they don’t always agree.”
Dr. Harjeet Singh isn’t just a psychiatrist; he’s a lifeline for many in Lucknow. His clinic in Charbagh is more than an address—it’s a place where people find hope, one conversation at a time. If you’re ever in Lucknow and need a steady hand to navigate life’s storms, you know where to find him. Just don’t be surprised if he offers you a proverb or two along the way.
