My longest mania lasted over 6 months. I was psychotic and I was not medicated. Typically though, it lasts anywhere from about 2-6 weeks. Depending one its severity, how quickly it is fully noticed, and how many potent drugs get stuffed down my throat (which sometimes do and sometimes do not work).

I got a bowling ball in my stomach I got a desert in my mouth
