What Experts Say

Sertraline works by blocking the reabsorption of serotonin in the brain, leaving more of this mood-regulating chemical available between nerve cells. Over several weeks, this gradual change helps stabilize mood, reduce anxious thoughts, and ease panic symptoms.

Doctors usually start treatment at a lower dose and increase it gradually to 100mg or higher based on response and tolerance. Full benefit often takes four to six weeks to appear, so doctors advise against stopping the tablet early just because initial improvement feels slow. Regular follow-up visits help track mood changes and any side effects.

Mental health concerns are still often hidden due to stigma, and many people delay seeking help until symptoms interfere heavily with work or family life. Self-medicating with leftover tablets from friends or family, or stopping the dose suddenly once feeling better, are common mistakes that can worsen symptoms or trigger withdrawal-like effects.
