👉 The Zoloft project, officially known as escitalopram, is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) developed by Pfizer for the treatment of major depressive disorder and other conditions such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. It works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain, a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in regulating mood, sleep, and other functions. Zoloft is known for its relatively favorable side effect profile compared to older SSRIs, making it a preferred choice for many patients. The project's development and approval have significantly impacted mental health treatment, offering a more accessible and effective option for managing depression and anxiety.
