>As for your son....if he had a break in reality, however brief, then an anti-psychotic med is quite apropriate in my opinion. As for your question of a week-long mania....they can easily last that long....and longer. There have even been people on here who have logged on to ask questions about how to get help for loved ones who were totally in complete psychotic mania for long periods of time and refused help because they were sooooo not in reality.<
My question wasn't if mania could last a week (I have a bil who can keep a high going for months), I was asking if it was likely that a week could produce psychosis? I get that anything's possible, what I'm looking for is a norm or average or consensus or something. |
