Mental health support in Bangladesh
BPD Therapy Support in Bangladesh
Compassionate therapy for intense emotions, relationship instability, impulsivity and self-harm risk associated with borderline personality disorder.
Quick answer: Borderline personality disorder is a diagnosis involving persistent difficulties with emotion regulation, identity, relationships and impulsivity. The label should never be used as an insult, and a full assessment is needed before diagnosis.

What to expect
Your first conversation
The first session is a chance to describe what has been happening, what you want to change and what would help you feel safe and understood. You do not need to know the correct diagnosis or therapy approach before booking. The psychologist should explain their understanding, discuss options with you and agree on practical next steps.
- Share only what you feel ready to discuss.
- Ask about the psychologist’s approach and experience.
- Discuss confidentiality and its safety-related limits.
- Agree on goals rather than expecting an instant cure.
- Review whether the therapeutic fit feels right.
- Seek medical assessment when physical symptoms or medication questions are involved.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do these signs mean I have borderline personality disorder?
Not necessarily. A webpage or self-check cannot diagnose you. A qualified professional considers duration, severity, daily impact, physical health and other possible explanations.
Can I have counselling online from anywhere in Bangladesh?
Yes. Chum Wellness offers confidential online sessions across Bangladesh, with in-person availability in Dhaka depending on the psychologist.
How much does a session cost?
Session fees start from BDT 1,000 and vary by psychologist, experience and session type. The applicable fee is confirmed before booking.
What should I do if I feel unsafe?
This service is not an emergency line. If you may harm yourself or someone else, call Bangladesh emergency services on 999 or go to the nearest hospital now.
