Bangladesh Psychiatric Care

Overview

Bangladesh Psychiatric Care is an outpatient mental health centre at Suite 6020, Shimanto Shambhar Shopping Complex, Road 2, Dhanmondi, Dhaka-1205. The centre occupies the sixth floor of the complex, beside the neighbouring Shimanto Square building. Care here is booked consultation and therapy only; the centre has no beds, no ward and no emergency unit.

The operating company is Bangladesh Psychiatric Care Ltd. Patients attend from across Dhaka, and psychiatric consultations are also held online for people who cannot travel. A large panel of psychiatrists and psychologists works from this one address.

Services

Psychiatrists at the centre assess mental health conditions and prescribe medicine where it helps. The panel covers general adult psychiatry alongside child and adolescent psychiatry. Psychologists in the same centre offer structured assessments and talking therapy across longer sessions, and many patients see both kinds of specialist over a course of care.

Speech and language therapists and occupational therapists are attached to the team, mainly supporting children. Their work sits alongside the psychiatric and psychology sessions rather than in a separate unit. Treatment plans are explained in plain words at the first visit, and follow-up dates are fixed before the patient leaves.

Specialist consultations

A large part of the weekly schedule belongs to younger patients. Child and adolescent psychiatrists review developmental, learning and behaviour concerns, while psychologists on the team include specialists in child development and behaviour programmes. Parents usually attend the early sessions and help shape the plan that follows.

The first meeting is mostly listening. The patient describes what has been happening, how long it has lasted and how daily life looks now, and earlier prescriptions and previous reports should be brought along. Online follow-up suits patients living outside Dhaka and anyone who finds travelling difficult on a hard day.

Location and access

Shimanto Shambhar stands on Road 2 in Dhanmondi, and the centre is reached by lift to the sixth floor. The similar name of the neighbouring mall causes occasional confusion, so the building name should be checked on arrival. Appointments are booked through the centre's phone line and its online booking system.

Nobody is admitted here overnight, and there is no round-the-clock duty desk. If a person needs hospital admission or urgent emergency help, a general hospital is the right door. Care at this centre is planned, appointment-based and unhurried by design.
