Question 1

How much does a Psychiatrist consultation cost in Dhaka?

Accepted Answer

In Dhaka, a psychiatrist's consultation fee usually ranges from about 600 to 1,500 BDT for a first visit. Senior consultants, professors and doctors at well-known mental health hospitals or private chambers may charge 1,500 to 2,500 BDT, while follow-up visits are typically cheaper, around 400 to 800 BDT. Fees vary with the doctor's qualifications, experience and the chamber, so confirm the exact amount when you book.

Question 2

How do I book an appointment with a Psychiatrist in Dhaka, and what should I expect?

Accepted Answer

Pick a psychiatrist in Dhaka from the list, check their chamber and visiting hours, and book by phone, serial or online. Bring any previous prescriptions, medical reports and a list of medicines you take. The first visit is a private, confidential talk where the doctor asks about your symptoms, sleep, mood and history, then explains the diagnosis and a treatment plan. You can bring a family member if you feel more comfortable, and there is no need to feel ashamed — seeing a psychiatrist is normal medical care.

Question 3

Who is the best Psychiatrist in Dhaka?

Accepted Answer

There is no single "best" psychiatrist for everyone — the right doctor depends on your specific problem, such as depression, addiction or a child's behaviour. Look for a qualified specialist (FCPS, MD or a diploma in psychiatry) with good experience, convenient chamber timing in Dhaka, and patients who feel listened to. You can compare the psychiatrists listed here by qualifications, years of experience and fees, then choose one whose timing and location suit you. A doctor you feel comfortable talking to honestly is often the best choice.

Question 4

Can I consult a Psychiatrist online or by telemedicine in Dhaka?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many psychiatrists in Dhaka now offer online video or phone consultations, which is especially helpful for mental health because you can talk privately from home. Telemedicine works well for follow-ups, medicine review, anxiety and depression. However, a first visit in person is recommended for serious conditions, severe psychosis, or any thoughts of self-harm. Look for the telemedicine label on a doctor's profile, and in an emergency contact a nearby hospital or the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in Dhaka.
