Zoloft (Sertraline) is an anti-depressant Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) used to treat depression, anxiety disorders, panic disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). Like all SSRIs, Zoloft inhibits serotonin (a neurotransmitter most commonly known as the “feel-good” chemical) reabsorption in the brain, which allows for more free-flowing serotonin to be available. Though Zoloft isn’t physically addictive, its positive psychological effects, as well as negative psychological withdrawals, make it psychologically addictive. Visit the Zoloft Page for more information.
