John Forbes Nash Jr.
He suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and was also a genius in mathematics who was awarded a shared Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences and an Abel Prize for outstanding achievement in mathematics.
John Nash worked at Princeton University as a mathematician and later won the Nobel Prize in Economics for his work in game theory.
The most prominent such mathematicians are Bertrand Russell, a prominent philosopher as well as a logician, who was awarded the 1950 Nobel in Literature and John Nash who was awarded the 1994 Nobel in Economics for his study of equilibria in non-zero sum games.Moreover, (from Wikipedia): There is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics, which has led to considerable speculation about why Alfred Nobel omitted it.[32][33] Some recipients of the Nobel Prize in other fields also have notable achievements in or have made outstanding contributions to mathematics; for example, Bertrand Russell was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature (1950) and Max Born and Walther Bothe shared the Nobel Prize in Physics (1954). Some others with advanced credentials in mathematics and/or who are known primarily as mathematicians have been awarded the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel: Kenneth Arrow (1972), Leonid Kantorovich (1975), John Forbes Nash (1994), Clive W. J. Granger (2003), Robert J. Aumann (who shared the 2005 Prize with Thomas C. Schelling), and Roger Myerson and Eric Maskin (2007).
The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 1994 was awarded jointly to John C. Harsanyi, John F. Nash Jr. and Reinhard Selten for their pioneering analysis of equilibria in the theory of non-cooperative games.

John F. Nash Jr. won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 1994 due to his groundbreaking work in game theory. In the 1950s, Nash developed a theory of how two or more people could interact with one another in a competitive environment. He showed that if each person in the game has certain rational goals, then they could come to an agreement that was beneficial to all parties. Nash's work provided a framework for understanding the behavior of people in situations of conflict or competition, and it had profound implications for economics, politics, and other fields. His work helped to revolutionize the field of economics and provided a better understanding of human behavior.

It depends on how one defines "psychologist." In any case, the answer is "very few," as there is no prize awarded in the field of psychology. If "psychologist" means a professor of psychology with a degree in psychology, then only one: Daniel Kahneman. His collaborator and co-recipient, Amos Tversky, was not alive to accept the prize, which was awarded in the field of economics.* Roger Sperry was a psychologist, but held his professorship in psychobiology. That would make two-his being awarded in the field of medicine. If the definition would include someone with a degree in political science who later became a professor of psychology, then three, counting Herbert Simon, who won his prize in the field of economics.* Ivan Pavlov, the physiologist whose influential work on classical conditioning has earned him a rank among the top 20th century "psychologists" (as rated by professional psychologists, citations, and references in Introductory Psychology textbooks), also won the prize in the field of physiology. If counted, that would make four. --- *: The answer also depends on how one defines "Nobel prize;" most, but not all, consider the prize in economics a true Nobel. A separate though related organization developed and began awarding the prize 68 years after the first prizes were put in place. Per Wikipedia: "The Prize in Economics is not one of the original Nobel Prizes created by Alfred Nobel's will. … Some critics argue that the prestige of the Prize in Economics derives in part from its association with the Nobel Prizes, an association that has often been a source of controversy." Even a recipient of the award, Friedrich Hayek, argued against considering the honor as equivalent to the other Nobels: "The Nobel Prize confers on an individual an authority which in economics no man ought to possess. … This does not matter in the natural sciences. Here the influence exercised by an individual is chiefly an influence on his fellow experts; and they will soon cut him down to size if he exceeds his competence. But the influence of the economist that mainly matters is an influence over laymen: politicians, journalists, civil servants and the public generally."
