Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Psychiatry
  • Internal medicine
  • Major depressive disorder

Her primary areas of investigation include Psychiatry, Global health, Clinical psychology, Mental health and Gerontology. Her Psychiatry research includes elements of Injury prevention and Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Her Global health research includes themes of Young adult, Millennium Development Goals, Scale and Maternal death.

The concepts of her Mental health study are interwoven with issues in Cross-sectional study, Socioeconomic status, Social environment and Public health. Her Gerontology research integrates issues from Verbal autopsy, Incidence, Mortality rate and Life expectancy, Years of potential life lost. Her work carried out in the field of Years of potential life lost brings together such families of science as Epidemiological transition, Environmental health, Relative risk, Disease burden and Risk factor.

Her most cited work include:

  • A comparative risk assessment of burden of disease and injury attributable to 67 risk factors and risk factor clusters in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (7776 citations)
  • Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 301 acute and chronic diseases and injuries in 188 countries, 1990-2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (6156 citations)
  • Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks in 188 countries, 1990-2013: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (4452 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Psychiatry, Clinical psychology, Mental health, Anxiety and Depression. Her Psychiatry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Injury prevention and Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Social anxiety, Sexual abuse and Comorbidity.

Soraya Seedat has researched Mental health in several fields, including Psychological intervention and Public health. Her research combines Epidemiology and Public health. Her Anxiety study combines topics in areas such as Internal medicine, Psychopathology and Mood.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Psychiatry (46.11%)
  • Clinical psychology (25.93%)
  • Mental health (17.96%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Clinical psychology (25.93%)
  • Mental health (17.96%)
  • Psychiatry (46.11%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her primary scientific interests are in Clinical psychology, Mental health, Psychiatry, Depression and Internal medicine. Her study looks at the intersection of Clinical psychology and topics like Injury prevention with Suicide prevention and Occupational safety and health. Her Mental health research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Psychological intervention, Epidemiology, Family medicine and Medical education.

Her research in Epidemiology intersects with topics in PsycINFO, Observational study, Public health and Environmental health. Her Mental illness and Comorbidity investigations are all subjects of Psychiatry research. The study incorporates disciplines such as Mood, Cohort, Traumatic brain injury and Anxiety in addition to Depression.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • International meta-analysis of PTSD genome-wide association studies identifies sex- and ancestry-specific genetic risk loci (83 citations)
  • Estimating the risk of PTSD in recent trauma survivors : results of the International Consortium to Predict PTSD ( ICPP ) (51 citations)
  • Measuring universal health coverage based on an index of effective coverage of health services in 204 countries and territories, 1990-2019 : a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. (39 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Major depressive disorder

Clinical psychology, Mental health, Psychiatry, Anxiety and Injury prevention are her primary areas of study. Neglect is closely connected to Child abuse in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Clinical psychology. Soraya Seedat combines subjects such as Epidemiology, Logistic regression and Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome with her study of Psychiatry.

Her study in Epidemiology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Population ageing, Relative risk, Mental health care and Risk factor. Her work deals with themes such as Longitudinal study, Neuropsychology, Mood, Internal medicine and Depression, which intersect with Anxiety. Her studies in Injury prevention integrate themes in fields like Epidemiological transition, Disability-adjusted life year, Suicide prevention, Global health and Occupational safety and health.
