Brand Zoloft belongs to which antidepressant?

Brand names map to the actual drug name, and Zoloft specifically identifies sertraline, an SSRI antidepressant. Sertraline works by blocking the reuptake of serotonin, increasing its availability in the brain, and is used for major depressive disorder and several anxiety-related conditions. The other drugs listed—fluoxetine, paroxetine, and citalopram—are different SSRIs with their own brand names (Prozac, Paxil, Celexa). So Zoloft corresponds to sertraline.
