I can relate some. It usually takes only a few weeks to a month to actually bring down the mania fully, a few days in to treatment to bring down the psychosis. However, it takes me a few months to mentally and emotionally recover from the psychosis. I question what is and isn't real anymore for a while. I think the hardest part of it all is I question what's real in my faith, because a lot of my delusions and hallucinations while in psychosis tend to be religious in nature, but out of the bounds of my faith normally. But of course, when manic, everything seems possible! So it takes me a while to restabilize in that respect, as I am typically strong and secure in my faith, but that really messes with me. And even though the Meds are working, when I have a moment where I start to question everything it can temporarily destabilize me for a few minutes, which is frightening sometimes.
