Commercial Airing: September 17, 2002 - October 2, 2004

Transcript
(The commercial begins to show four tiny brains in a drawn-cartoon.)

VO: Anxiety can become overwhelming. You may avoid certain situations even though you want to join in. You might shake, sweat, or feel panicky.

(A bright spotlight appears onto a tiny brain. The background becomes dark.)

VO: You may worry that everyone's is judging you and become embarrassed.

(Two red cheeks appear onto the tiny brain, who is blushed and unamused. The text below itself says "Symptoms get in the way of daily life.")

VO: The anxiety may affect your relationships with friends or people you work with! You just feel so isolated. These are some symptoms of the Social Anxiety Disorder, a serious medical condition.

(We cut to a footage of the Chemical Imbalance. The text "Dramatization" is shown with two bumps. A group of tiny dots float around the surface of Nerve A and Nerve B.)

VO: While the cause is unknown, Social Anxiety Disorder may be related to an imbalance of naturally occurring chemicals between nerve cells and the brain!

(More dots float around to survive Nerve B. Three dark squares appear onto Nerve A. The logo itself is shown on top.)

VO: Prescription Zoloft works to correct this imbalance!

(Cut to four tiny brains now on top of a hill. The background is now blue.)

VO: You just shouldn't have to feel this way anymore.

(Another text below it that says "Zoloft is approved for adults 18 and over.")

VO: Only your doctor can diagnose the Social Anxiety Disorder. People taking MAOIs or kemacide should not take Zoloft. (The text "See our ad in Fitness magazine" is shown below also.) Side effects may include dry mouth, insomnia, sexual side effects, diarrhea, nausea and sleepiness. (The text below "1-800-486-0516" is shown which becomes a phone number.) Zoloft is not habit-forming. Talk to your doctor about Zoloft, the #1 prescribed brand of its kind!
