Best Psychiatrist in Barishal - Book Appointment

My Thoughts Race All Night, Then I Face a Classroom

She Let Me Finish Before Asking Anything

At the first sitting she did not interrupt me once. I told her about the nights, the classroom, the snapping at my brother, in my own order. Only when I stopped did she start asking. She asked how I sleep, what a normal day looks like, who is at home, and whether anything like this had happened before.

She Asked About My Body Too

Some questions surprised me. She asked about my appetite, my earlier illnesses, and about any old reports at home. The body and the mind do not work separately, she said. If something physical is adding to the trouble, another doctor should check that part first. She promised she would tell me plainly if so.

Nothing Would Be Fixed in One Sitting

She was honest that change would come slowly. We would meet again at set gaps, and ask about the nights and the school days. She suggested regular sittings where we talk things through. She also gave me a medicine, and told me which changes to report early instead of waiting.

Taking the Medicine the Way She Wrote It

I am to take the medicine exactly as she wrote it, no more and no less. Stopping it all at once on my own is not an option, even in a week when I feel better. If it troubles me in any way, I will tell her at the next sitting, or sooner if it cannot wait. Whatever changes are needed will come from her side, not mine.

Other Doctors Sit in Their Own Lists

While searching I noticed the site keeps different kinds of doctors in separate lists. Troubles of the body that need an operation sit under the general surgeon listings for Barishal. Mine is a trouble of the mind, so I stayed with that first list.

I was scared my problem was too small to bring. Was it?

She did not think so. Months of broken sleep and a restless mind are reason enough, she said. Nobody needs to fall apart first.

Why did she ask so much about my sleep?

The nights tell her a lot about how the days are going, she said. When sleep settles, other things often begin to settle with it.

Will anyone at my school find out that I came?

What I say in her room stays there. My family joins only with my own agreement.

How often do I have to go back?

My next visit is a few weeks ahead. After that, the gaps depend on how I am doing.

What if the worry grows worse before the next visit?

She told me not to sit and suffer quietly. If the nights turn much worse, I contact her sooner and say so.

What should I do if one night I feel I might harm myself?

Tell someone near me at once and get to a hospital that very day, without waiting for any appointment. The same holds if whole nights pass with no sleep and my mind will not slow down. It also holds if I suddenly cannot manage washing and eating. She made me repeat this back before I left.
