Getting psychiatric care for anxiety and depression has never been simpler. Consult with a licensed healthcare provider to determine whether a medication like sertraline could be right for you.
Sertraline 101
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a type of antidepressant that work by increasing levels of a mood-affecting chemical called serotonin in the brain which helps to improve your symptoms. Nice, right?
Your brain naturally produces chemicals that make you feel good, like serotonin. Sertraline keeps neurons from reabsorbing this chemical so that you have more of it available in your brain. Long story short? For people with depression and anxiety disorders, this can help to improve their interest in activities or reduce their number of panic attacks.

I truly felt like Hims took my symptoms and how I felt into careful consideration. Now, I know I can reach out to my practitioner at any time on my phone and can make adjustments as needed.
I was able to secure an online appointment way faster than I had imagined and was back on my regular medication schedule within maybe a week or so of that consultation.
I found support that I rarely experienced in a traditional clinical setting. They made me feel like there was no reason not to get help. No judgment. No unnecessary tests. Just support and solutions.
The process could not have been easier! I submitted a form, and within the day I was chatting with a provider. I never felt judged.
It has given me the treatment I needed without the hassle and perceived stigmas. I can’t thank Hims enough.
