First SSRI

The patient in front of you has just been dispensed Sertraline. Counsel them in plain language; check their understanding before you finish. Their concerns are theirs to reveal, not yours to read.

Honestly I'm not sure about this. The internet says these are addictive and stop you feeling anything. How long would I even be on it?

Tip: check understanding before you finish. Ask the patient to repeat the plan back.

Drug page: find Sertraline in the Drug Explorer to study its counselling points before or after a session.
