Dr. Jebun Nahar

Mental health concerns in children and teenagers often look different from those in adults. A child may not say “I feel anxious” — instead, parents notice falling grades, irritability, sleep problems, repeated stomach aches, or withdrawal from friends. Dr. Jebun Nahar works specifically with these presentations, offering assessment and treatment for children, adolescents, and their families in Dhaka and beyond.

Her practice combines psychiatric evaluation with family-centered support, so that parents and caregivers are part of the treatment plan rather than passive observers. Alongside clinical work at the National Institute of Mental Health, she sees patients privately at two chambers in Dhaka and one in Noakhali.

Doctor Overview

Education & Training

Dr. Jebun Nahar graduated with an MBBS from Dhaka Medical College (DMC), one of the country’s oldest and busiest public medical institutions. She later qualified through BCS (Health), joining the government health cadre, and went on to complete an MD in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at Bangladesh Medical University (BMU) — a dedicated postgraduate qualification in her subspecialty rather than general psychiatry alone.

That training pathway matters clinically: child and adolescent psychiatry requires separate skills in developmental assessment, interviewing children through play and observation, and working with parents and schools. Her MD training at BMU covered exactly this ground, and it underpins the structured assessment she offers for young patients.

Career & Current Position

She currently serves as Assistant Professor & RP at the National Institute of Mental Health, Dhaka, the country’s principal tertiary referral centre for mental health. Working there means regular exposure to complex cases referred from across Bangladesh, alongside teaching and supervision responsibilities that keep her practice current.

In addition to her institute role, she maintains an active private practice. Families who prefer to see her in a quieter, appointment-based setting can choose between her Dhanmondi and Segunbagicha chambers in Dhaka, while patients in the Noakhali region can consult her at Ibn Sina Hospital & Diagnostic Centre in Maijdee. Those who want to review other options at her workplace can also look at the doctors at National Institute of Mental Health, Dhaka.
