Medline Plus has reported that Sertraline is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks, posttraumatic stress disorder, and social anxiety disorder. Sertraline is in a class of antidepressants which are called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). These drugs work by increasing the amounts of serotonin, a natural substance in the brain that helps maintain mental balance. Medline Plus has also pointed out the following side effects can occur with Sertraline: “new or worsening depression; thinking about harming or killing yourself, or planning or trying to do so; extreme worry; agitation; panic attacks; difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep; aggressive behavior; irritability; acting without thinking; severe restlessness; and frenzied abnormal excitement.”
