Dr. Chiranjeeb Biswas — Senior Consultant Psychiatrist at AMAR Home
Dr. Chiranjeeb Biswas is one of the most experienced psychiatrists involved in addiction treatment in Dhaka. He holds a postgraduate MPhil in Psychiatry from BSMMU, which is one of the most rigorous clinical research qualifications in Bangladesh’s medical system, and he leads the psychiatry department at Medical College for Women & Hospital as its head.
At AMAR Home, he provides specialist psychiatric evaluation and treatment for patients with complex cases. This includes patients where addiction and a co-occurring mental health condition such as depression, anxiety disorder, or bipolar disorder exist at the same time. These cases need a different kind of management, and Dr. Biswas has the clinical background to handle them with precision.
What Does Dr. Chiranjeeb Biswas Do at AMAR Home?
His role at AMAR Home covers psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, medication management, and consultation on complex cases. Specifically, he works on:
Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation for new admissions
Diagnosis and management of dual diagnosis cases (addiction plus mental illness)
Medication review for patients undergoing detoxification
Psychiatric monitoring during the residential treatment phase
Consultation with the clinical team on high-risk or complex patient situations
He does not just sign off on medication lists. He is directly involved in reviewing cases, adjusting treatment protocols, and ensuring the psychiatric side of recovery is given the attention it deserves.
Why Dual Diagnosis Expertise Matters in Addiction Recovery
A significant number of people who develop substance dependence are also dealing with an underlying psychiatric condition. In many cases, the substance use started as a way to cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, or another undiagnosed mental health issue.
If a rehabilitation center only treats the addiction without identifying and addressing the psychiatric condition, the chances of relapse remain high. Dr. Biswas’s training and experience in both psychiatry and addiction medicine means AMAR Home can treat both conditions simultaneously rather than one after the other.
This integrated approach, treating mind and substance use disorder together, is what current global psychiatric guidelines recommend. It is also what distinguishes centers with strong psychiatric support from those without it.
Academic Background and Professional Standing
Dr. Biswas completed both his MBBS and his MPhil in Psychiatry through Bangladesh Sheikh Mujib Medical University, the country’s premier postgraduate medical institution. His MPhil represents years of structured clinical research, a standard well beyond a standard MBBS or even a basic MD qualification.
His position as Head of the Department of Psychiatry at MCW&H reflects the confidence the medical institution places in his clinical leadership. Running an academic psychiatry department while maintaining active patient care at a rehabilitation center demonstrates a level of professional commitment that is uncommon.
