Top 3 Psychiatrists in 3rd Circle 2026

When do you need a psychiatrist?

Psychiatry is the medical specialty that diagnoses and treats mental and mood disorders. These range from depression and anxiety to bipolar disorder, psychosis and addiction. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor. This means they can assess how physical health, medication and mental health affect each other. They can also prescribe and monitor medication and coordinate psychological therapy. Common services include a full psychiatric assessment, treatment for depression and anxiety, medication follow-up, help with insomnia, management of bipolar disorder and support after trauma.

Mainstream guidance, such as that from the WHO and the NHS, suggests seeking a professional assessment if you notice:

• Low mood, loss of interest or hopelessness lasting more than two weeks
• Repeated panic attacks, or worry that is hard to control
• Long-term insomnia that affects your days
• Disturbing, intrusive or persistent negative thoughts
• Difficulty managing work, study, family life or self-care
• Marked mood swings, or changes in behaviour that others notice
• Using alcohol or other substances to cope

Many people start with their family doctor, who can rule out physical causes and refer them on. You can also book directly with a psychiatrist.

When it is an emergency

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department straight away in any of these situations:

• Someone has thoughts of suicide or self-harm and may act on them
• Someone has harmed themselves or taken an overdose
• Someone is hearing or seeing things that others do not, and is frightened or at risk
• Someone is severely confused or agitated
• Someone has stopped eating or drinking

Do not wait for a clinic appointment in these cases. Stay with the person if it is safe to do so.

How to choose among the psychiatrists here

If you are looking for the best psychiatrists in 3rd Circle, start with the doctor whose services, hours and approach match your situation. Rankings are not a measure of quality. The list on this page is ordered by profile completeness, so compare the details yourself.

• Your main concern. All three list psychiatric assessment and diagnosis. Dr. Ahmad Al Dabbas lists care for depression, anxiety, OCD and bipolar disorder, along with medication management. Dr. Moussa Mohammad Hassan lists psychotherapy, couples sessions and psychiatric medical reports. Dr. Mohammad Al Dabbas lists consultations, assessment and treatment review.
• Medication versus talking therapy. Many people benefit from both. Ask whether therapy is offered by the psychiatrist, by colleagues in the same clinic, or through referral.
• Reports. If you need a psychiatric report for work, study or legal purposes, ask in advance whether the clinic prepares the type of report you need.
• Remote consultations. Two profiles list remote psychiatric consultations. These can help with follow-up visits or if travel is difficult. Ask whether a first assessment can be done remotely or must be in person.
• Timing. The two Dabbas clinic profiles show confirmed hours on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday, with shorter hours on Thursday. Dr. Moussa Mohammad Hassan's confirmed hours run Saturday to Wednesday, including Monday, with shorter hours on Thursday.
• Comfort and continuity. Treatment often involves several visits over months. Feeling able to speak openly matters, so it is reasonable to change doctors if the fit is not right.

What to expect at the first visit

A first psychiatric appointment is usually longer than a follow-up. The doctor will ask about your current symptoms and how long they have lasted. They will also ask about sleep, appetite, energy, past mental health history, physical illnesses, family history, alcohol or substance use, and how you are coping day to day. They may ask directly about thoughts of self-harm. This is a routine and important safety question.

What to bring

• A list of all current medicines, supplements and doses, or the packets themselves
• Any previous psychiatric reports, discharge summaries or recent blood tests
• Brief notes on your symptoms: when they started, what makes them better or worse, and examples
• Your ID and insurance card, if you plan to use insurance
• A trusted family member or friend, if you would find that helpful

Questions worth asking

• What do you think is going on, and how sure can we be at this stage?
• What are the treatment options, including non-medication approaches?
• If medication is suggested, what side effects should I watch for, and how long until it may help?
• How often will follow-up visits be, and can some be remote?
• What should I do if I feel worse between appointments?

Do not start, stop or change psychiatric medication without medical advice. Some medicines need to be reduced gradually.

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

Check the details when you book rather than at the reception desk:

• Consultation fee. Ask the clinic for the current fee for a first assessment and for follow-up visits. These are often different.
• Insurance. Ask whether the clinic accepts your insurer. Also check with your insurer whether mental health consultations are covered and whether you need a referral or pre-approval.
• Remote visits. Ask how remote consultations are booked and paid for, and which platform is used.
• Reports and therapy sessions. Ask whether psychiatric reports, psychotherapy or couples sessions are charged separately.
• Cancellations. Ask about the clinic's policy on rescheduling or missed appointments.
• Confidentiality. You can ask how your records are kept and who can access them.

Getting there

3rd Circle is in central Amman. People reach it from across the capital, including Shmeisani, Abdoun, Sweifieh, the Gardens, Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, Jubeiha, Dabouq and 7th Circle. Traffic can be heavy at peak times, so allow extra time for your first visit. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are often the simplest option, as parking near busy circles can be limited. When you book, ask for the building name, floor and any nearby parking.

In an emergency, do not travel to a clinic. Call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department. Amman's major hospitals include Jordan University Hospital, King Hussein Medical Center, Al-Bashir Hospital, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital.
