According to the National Mental Health Survey of India, only 10–12% of people living with a mental health condition in urban areas ever receive professional care. In Pune's rapidly growing western neighbourhoods - Aundh, Baner, Wakad, Kothrud - this gap is especially stark. Families dealing with a child's behavioural changes, a parent's memory decline, or a professional's anxiety go months, sometimes years, without finding a clinic they genuinely trust.
Mansa Clinic was established to close that gap. Located at Parihar chowk, Flat No. 6, Raviraj Appartment, DP Rd, above Parihar Kids, Aundh, Pune, Maharashtra 411007, the clinic brings together a team of eight specialists - psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, counsellors, an art therapist, and a physical therapist - to offer complete mental health care for individuals and families across every stage of life.
We do not believe that one appointment and one prescription constitute treatment. Every person who walks through our door receives an individualised assessment, a clear explanation of their diagnosis, and a care plan built around their life - not a textbook template.

1 in 7 Indians lives with a mental health condition (ICMR, 2023). Among urban professionals in cities like Pune, the proportion is higher - and rising. The WHO estimates that untreated mental illness costs India approximately USD 1.03 trillion in lost productivity between 2012 and 2030. Against that backdrop, the decision to seek professional help is not a sign of weakness. It is, quite simply, the most practical step a person can take.
At Mansa Clinic, our job is to make that step as easy, close, and judgment-free as possible for every family in Aundh and across Pune.
Your first appointment at Mansa Clinic is a conversation, not an interrogation. You will meet directly with one of our psychiatrists or senior clinicians - whoever is most appropriate for your concern. We will listen carefully, ask clarifying questions, and give you a clear picture of what we think is happening and why. No rushed five-minute slot. No prescription handed over before we have heard your full story.
If additional assessment is needed - neuropsychological testing, a structured diagnostic interview, or family input - we will explain exactly what that involves and why. If another specialist in our team is better suited to your care, we will coordinate that internally, so you do not have to start from scratch elsewhere.
