Researchers at University College London said it made people feel better, but worked in unexpected way. Psychiatrists say the findings are reassuring for doctors and patients, confirming the benefits of treatment. Sertraline, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor , is one of the most common drugs used to treat symptoms of depression and anxiety.patients with mild to severe depressive symptoms, or anxiety, or a mix of both, were selected from 179 GP surgeries in the UK and enrolled on the trial.After six weeks, the patients taking sertraline reported a 21% greater improvement in anxiety symptoms - such as feeling worried, nervous and irritable - compared to the control group taking a dummy pill.
