Dr. Md. Atiqur Rahman

Memory loss that gradually affects daily life can be worrying for both patients and their families. Dr. Md. Atiqur Rahman is a Consultant in Neuromedicine with a stated specialty in dementia. He completed MBBS from the University of Chittagong (CU) and holds an MD in Neurology and MACP from the USA. He is also a member of the American Academy of Neurology. His chamber is at the National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital in Dhaka.

Dementia is a condition that affects memory, thinking, communication, and the ability to manage everyday activities. Early signs may include repeatedly asking the same questions, forgetting familiar routes, struggling to follow conversations, or having difficulty handling routine tasks. These changes should not automatically be attributed to ageing, as several medical conditions can affect memory and concentration. A proper assessment helps identify possible causes and guide further care.

When visiting Dr. Rahman, patients and family members can describe when the memory changes began and how they have progressed. Examples from daily life can help explain the difficulties more clearly. Previous medical reports, prescriptions, and information about existing conditions are also useful. Family observations may be particularly helpful when the patient has trouble recalling symptoms or describing changes in behaviour.

Neuromedicine consultation can help families understand cognitive symptoms and explore appropriate management options. Patients planning to visit the National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital in Dhaka should confirm the doctor's schedule beforehand. Sudden confusion, abrupt speech difficulties, or new weakness should be treated as an emergency because these symptoms may indicate an acute medical problem.
