Dr. Megan Fyffe

Megan Fyffe is a researcher in the field of psychiatry and maternal mental health, with work centered on understanding psychological conditions during the perinatal period. Her research is closely aligned with public health concerns in South Africa, particularly within antenatal populations where mental health challenges are often under-recognized and underreported.

Her publication on post-traumatic stress disorder in pregnant populations highlights a focus on prevalence, risk factors, and the broader implications of trauma on maternal wellbeing. This work contributes to a growing body of literature addressing how mental health conditions during pregnancy can affect both mothers and developmental outcomes, emphasizing the importance of early identification and care.

Based on limited available publications at present, her research suggests a commitment to advancing awareness of perinatal mental health in underserved contexts. Her contributions reflect an interest in bridging clinical psychiatry and public health, with potential implications for policy, screening practices, and maternal care interventions.
