Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical Global Impression (CGI) Scale

    Measured before treatment, at five treatment study visits, and 12 weeks after starting treatment

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS)

    Measured before treatment, at five treatment study visits, and 12 weeks after starting treatment

Study Arms (2)

Generalized social anxiety disorder participants

Participants with generalized social anxiety disorder will undergo MRI scanning and sertraline treatment.

Drug: Sertraline

Healthy control participants

Healthy control participants will undergo MRI scanning.

Interventions

Oral sertraline will begin at 50 mg per day, then increase to 75 mg per day on Day 8, then increase to 100 mg per day on Day 15. The dose may be increased to 150 mg per day on Week 8, based on clinical response and medication toleration.
