Top 3 Psychiatrists in Khalda 2026

When do you need a psychiatrist?

Psychiatry is the medical specialty that diagnoses and treats mental and mood disorders, from depression and anxiety to psychotic disorders and addiction. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor. A visit can therefore combine a full assessment, a diagnosis, a discussion of medication where appropriate, and talking therapy or a referral for it.

You may want to book an appointment if you notice:

• Low mood, loss of interest or hopelessness lasting more than two weeks
• Repeated panic attacks, or constant worry that is hard to control
• Long-term insomnia, or sleep problems that affect your days
• Intrusive, distressing thoughts or repetitive behaviours you feel unable to stop
• Difficulty working, studying, looking after yourself or maintaining relationships
• Concerns about alcohol, medication or drug use
• Ongoing distress after a frightening or traumatic event

You do not need to be in crisis to see a psychiatrist. Early assessment often makes treatment simpler.

Warning signs that need urgent help

Do not wait for a clinic appointment if you or someone near you has:

• Thoughts of suicide or self-harm, especially with a plan or the means to act
• Taken an overdose or harmed themselves
• Severe confusion, hearing or seeing things others do not, or behaviour that puts anyone at risk
• Stopped eating or drinking, or cannot care for themselves at all
• Severe withdrawal symptoms such as seizures or marked confusion after stopping alcohol or drugs

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. If someone is at risk, stay with them until help arrives.

How to choose among the psychiatrists here

People searching for the best psychiatrists in Khalda usually want the right fit for their situation. A ranking cannot measure that. These practical criteria can help:

• Match the services to your concern. All three profiles list psychiatric assessment and diagnosis. Dr. Al Hyari lists addiction assessment and follow-up, OCD care, and individual and family consultations. Dr. Khasawneh lists bipolar disorder follow-up, sleep and eating disorder treatment, psychotherapy, and marriage and family counselling. Dr. Zablawi lists assessment, consultations and treatment review, within a team that also arranges remote consultations.
• Look at the qualifications. All three hold the Jordanian Board in Psychiatry. Dr. Al Hyari also lists the Arab Board in Psychiatry. Each profile shows where the doctor trained.
• Check the hours against your routine. Hope Mental Health Clinic (Dr. Al Hyari and Dr. Zablawi) lists 09:00 to 17:00 from Saturday to Wednesday and a shorter Thursday, until 13:00. Jannati Clinics (Dr. Khasawneh) lists 10:00 to 18:00 from Saturday to Thursday, which may suit people who finish work later.
• Think about comfort. Feeling at ease matters in mental health care. Some patients prefer a doctor of a particular gender, and the profiles show this.
• Plan for continuity. Psychiatric care often involves several follow-up visits, especially when medication is started or adjusted. Choose a clinic you can reach regularly.
• Involve family if you wish. If you want relatives in some sessions, ask how the clinic handles family meetings and confidentiality.

What to expect at the first visit

A first psychiatric assessment usually takes longer than a follow-up. The doctor will ask about:

• Your current symptoms and when they started
• Your sleep, appetite and energy
• Your work, relationships and stress
• Past mental health care and family history
• Physical health conditions and any alcohol or drug use

You may be asked to fill in short questionnaires. Sometimes the doctor suggests blood tests or other checks to rule out physical causes of symptoms.

What to bring:

• A list of every medicine you take, including supplements and herbal products
• Previous psychiatric or medical reports, discharge summaries and test results
• Your ID and, if relevant, your insurance card
• Brief notes on your symptoms, what makes them better or worse, and your questions

Questions you might ask:

• What do you think is going on, and how sure can we be at this stage?
• What treatment options exist, including therapy, medication or both?
• 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 any be remote?
• Who do I contact if things get worse between appointments?

If you already take psychiatric medication, do not stop or change it on your own before the visit. Discuss any changes with your doctor. You are welcome to bring a trusted family member or friend, but you can also ask to speak to the doctor alone.

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

Fees and insurance arrangements can change, so confirm them directly with the clinic before your first visit. Useful questions:

• What is the fee for a first assessment, and what is the fee for a follow-up visit?
• Do you accept my insurance, and does my policy cover outpatient mental health care?
• Do I need pre-approval or a referral from my insurer or GP?
• How long is the first appointment, and how soon is the next available slot?
• Are remote consultations possible for follow-up, and are they priced differently?
• What is the cancellation or rescheduling policy?
• How are repeat prescriptions handled between visits?

It is also worth calling your insurer, because coverage for psychiatric care differs between policies.

Getting there

All three psychiatrists practise in Khalda, Amman. Dr. Al Hyari and Dr. Zablawi work at the same clinic, Hope Mental Health Clinic. Dr. Khasawneh consults at Jannati Clinics for Mental Health and Wellbeing in Khalda.

Khalda is easy to reach from nearby districts such as Tla' Al-Ali, Dabouq and the Gardens. It is also accessible from across Amman by car, taxi or ride-hailing apps.

When you book, ask for the exact building and floor and whether parking is available. Allow extra time at busy hours. Remember that Hope Mental Health Clinic closes earlier on Thursdays.

For emergencies, go to the nearest emergency department rather than a clinic. Amman's major hospitals include Jordan University Hospital, Al-Bashir Hospital and King Hussein Medical Center.
