Hi,

Zoloft is used to treat depression, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, social and anxiety disorder and sometimes premenstrual syndrome. There are also studies suggesting that Zoloft helps in reducing hot flashes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
