Medical malpractice by a doctor and psychologist


11-Jun-2023 (In Medical Negligence Law)
Can a psychologist who is not RCI registered practice under psychiatrist? Is it legal? What if a psychologist without RCI registration working under psychiatrist misdiagnose me and ask me to take medicine and psychotherapy even after misdiagnosis and tell me lies and fools me in the name of psychotherapy? Also what if a doctor misdiagnose me to extort money? And after giving them a one star google review and narrating the story in the review section what if they deny the fact that i was their patient? Can I sue them or take actions in these cases?

To become a registered clinical psychologist in India one must have a licence from rehabilitation council of India (RCI).
You can legal action against such a person who is practicing as a clinical psychologist without registration from RCI.
Submit a complaint in writing to the nearest police station.
Attach any documents, bills, prescriptions or any other evidence along with the complaint.
