What is Fluoxetine used to treat?

Fluoxetine is primarily used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), but can also be used to manage other conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bulimia nervosa, panic disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). It can help reduce sadness, anxiety, and disruptive behaviors.

It may be prescribed 'off-label' for body dysmorphic disorder, binge eating disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or other depressive or anxiety disorders.
