Zoloft

Zoloft (sertraline) is a medication used to treat depression, anxiety, and related disorders. It belongs to a class called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which work by increasing the level of serotonin—a chemical in the brain that helps regulate mood. By balancing serotonin levels, Zoloft can help improve feelings of well-being, reduce anxiety, and ease symptoms of depression. It typically takes a few weeks to see full benefits and should be taken under medical supervision, as it may cause side effects or interact with other medications.
