Is it possible for a manic episode last for months?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Absolutely: Why the lenght of a manic episode varies greatly from individual to individual and from episode to episode within the same individual, a recent stidy suggests the average length of time someone with bipolar i disorder spends either depressed or manic is about 13 weeks.
