How long does a delusional state last?

Depends: 20 minutes to 15 years. There are many causes-- so many variations. When treated, the duration decreases.

Depends: The length of time a delusional state exists is partially related to the cause. If it is induced by a chemical or drug, the influence of that will have to wear off. If it is a result of a mental disease, the duration is not predictable unless one knows the history of the individual.
