Zoloft (Sertraline) is used for the treatment of depression, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This medication works by affecting the chemicals in the brain by increasing the level of a neurotransmitter called serotonin in the brain. Increased serotonin levels can help improve mood, reduce panic attacks, and treat OCD.
