Sertraline (Zoloft) is often preferred over other SSRIs because it has a strong balance of efficacy and tolerability, with a relatively low risk of sedation, weight gain, or severe drug interactions. It is also commonly chosen for patients with comorbid anxiety or PTSD, as it has FDA approval for multiple conditions. Its flexible dosing and safety profile make it a popular first-line antidepressant.
