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.
