The matter most probably is depression.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using Healthcaremagic to post your health query.

Not having feelings is a sign of depression. So that is why your doctor has prescribed you sertraline. Use it as directed by your doctor and in 2-3 weeks you will start feeling much better, because it is a very good medicine.

Hope this is helpful.
Feel free to let me know if you have other questions or concerns.

Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
