Hi, Katie,
Thanks for query,
It seems that you have got chronic depression and so sertaline takes more time to work,you continue the medicines and still dose can be increased after consultation of your psychiatrist.
if there is no improvement after increase the dose your case is to be evaluated.
ok and bye.

Dear Katie,
Depression is a commonest psychiatric illness.
The cause of depression can be biological, psychological or social.
So, overall it can occur without any stress.
At times our body may not get benefit from perticular medication, so ask you doctor for poor response with treatment.
He can help you by changing medication.
Do restart treatment of depression, you will be cured soon.
