Why getting help matters here
Mental health problems are common in Bangladesh, but help is still rare. The National Mental Health Survey 2019 found that 16.8 percent of adults and 13.6 percent of children had a mental health condition, yet 92.3 percent of those adults and 94.5 percent of those children were not receiving any treatment.
Stigma, cost and simply not knowing where to start keep many people waiting for years. My aim is to make the first step clearer: what kind of help fits your situation, and what to expect when you reach out.

Conditions I help with
These guides explain each condition, what the research says about treatment, and what to look for in care in Dhaka:
How to choose the right service
If the problem is mostly inside you, such as worry, sadness, panic or intrusive thoughts, start with individual psychotherapy. If it is mainly between you and your partner, start with couple therapy. If several people at home are affected, consider family therapy. If the concern is your child, start with child and teen therapy. If you need a formal assessment for school or diagnosis, start with psychological testing.
Still not sure? That is normal. Send me a short message describing what is happening, and I will suggest where to begin. My guide on how to choose a psychologist in Dhaka may also help.
How booking works
- Message me on WhatsApp at +8801929446548 with a few lines about your concern.
- Choose in person or online and agree on a time.
- Attend your first session, where we understand the problem and agree on a plan together.
When you need a psychiatrist
I am a psychologist, so I provide assessment and therapy but do not prescribe medicine. For severe depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis or when medication may help, a psychiatrist should be involved. See psychiatrists in Dhaka: when to see one and how to choose. If anyone is in immediate danger, go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
