recovery time depends on the person. everyone has something different they're going through and there's no way to tell how long it will take. however I'd have to guess over a year.

There is no set time for recovery, no matter the issue. For some people it takes years to even establish the source of the issue/problem itself in the first place, and for others it may not take as long but would require even more effort. It depends on the resources available and how willin and/or motivated you are to recover.

There is no average recovery time because we are all different and have different situations so it takes different people different amounts of time. There is no fixed average time.

Recovery takes as long as you feel it needs to. A week, a month, or a year. Sometimes it can be a whole life long roller coaster. What is important is not the time of recovery, but how you will keep on improving your wellbeing and put what you have learnt into action too.

It depends from person to person. The mental illness is different for everyone. For some people, it only takes some months to recover, for others years.

There is honestly no average recovery time. Everyone is different. The length of suffering, past trauma, support systems, access to proper treatment etc can all be factors that contribute to recovery time.

it is different for everybody and it depends on the level of your mental problem too so there is no generalisation for that one, sorry.

It differs from person to person and to the extent the type of issue you are recovering from. I would assume you are talking about the heart? I understand that its not easy to recover from them but time is an important factor where we can reflect on what went wrong and how to avoid it next time. I would like to encourage you to regularly talk to people you are close with because it is always good to have a listening ear beside you.

The average recovery time is based on the person and how much they have gone through with their experience.

In truth, there is no average recovery time because we differ so greatly as individuals. Those with depression and those with anxiety, while the two problems can be paired, cannot have their recovery time compaired because they are not the same disorder. Even within the group of those suffering from anxiety, some recover faster and some recover at a far slower pace. But, that does not mean that the person who recovers faster is superior; everyone needs a different amount of time to recover, and achieving recovery is all that truly matters in the long run. Focus on what you yourself need, and all will be well.
