Online therapy in Dhaka
Online therapy is becoming an increasingly important form of psychological counselling. It is a system that uses the internet to carry on the process of counseling by linking counselors with clients over the net. In Bangladesh, it has been introduced in Dhaka only recently, but already shows positive results. This service mostly benefits busy professionals and housewives who find it difficult to attend regular sessions.
Counseling can be provided to clients over the internet through text chat, audio, and video calls. The counseling is carried on as a conversation between the therapist and the client. In this example, a counselor’s first task is to make a complete profile of a patient by asking him/her about age, sex, etc. Once this is established, the client can be advised as per his/her need.
Counselors can also prescribe medicine to clients if required. The patient has to consult a doctor before taking any medicine. But many think that using the internet for health care and counseling saves them time and money and gives instant results.
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Mental Health in Dhaka
In Dhaka, Bangladesh, mental health illnesses are a common occurrence. The World Health Organization estimates that there are more than one million people in Dhaka who suffer from a mental illness. There is a shocking lack of awareness about the issue in the country though and many do not know what to do about it which means that most treatment takes place through self-help groups that focus on support and education rather than treatment.
Approximately 50 percent of people in the Dhaka area who have a mental illness never seek treatment for it.
The main types of mental illnesses found in Dhaka include depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, bipolar affective disorder, and schizophrenia. However, most people with these conditions do not seek treatment because they believe that mental illness is a sign of personal weakness or that medical help will not be effective. In fact, many see their condition as punishment for sins they have committed and therefore choose to suffer rather than receive treatment from doctors which often worsens their condition further.
The rate of depression is particularly high among market traders who are constantly exposed to the stresses associated with buying and selling goods in a highly competitive environment where success or failure can be determined by a single moment’s decision-making.
