Prof. Dr. Md. Golam Rabbani

Prof. Dr. Md. Golam Rabbani is a former Professor and Head of Psychiatry, with a listed specialty in brain-related mental health conditions and drug addiction. He holds an MBBS degree and an FCPS in Psychiatry. His professional field involves the assessment and treatment of psychiatric disorders, including concerns that affect a person's mood, thinking, behaviour and ability to manage everyday life.

Drug addiction can affect physical health, emotional stability, family relationships and work. Some people also experience anxiety, depression, sleep problems or changes in behaviour alongside substance use. Recovery often requires more than willpower alone. A psychiatric assessment can help identify the nature of the problem and guide an appropriate care plan, which may include medication, counselling, family support or supervised treatment. The approach depends on the substance involved and the person's health needs.

Prof. Rabbani's listed chamber is the National Institute of Mental Health Hospital in Dhaka. People seeking help for psychiatric symptoms or substance-related concerns can bring previous prescriptions, medical records and details of any treatment they have received. If the patient is comfortable doing so, a trusted family member may help explain changes in behaviour or daily functioning. Honest information about substance use and current medication can help the clinician assess the situation more accurately.

His FCPS in Psychiatry reflects specialist postgraduate training in mental health care, while his former academic leadership role forms part of his professional background. Patients planning to visit the hospital should confirm the current consultation schedule and appointment procedure before travelling. Severe withdrawal symptoms, seizures, loss of consciousness or immediate danger to oneself require urgent medical assistance.
