Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There is no set time frame for how long a depressive episode will last as it can vary from person to person. However, according to the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), a major depressive episode can last up to nine months without treatment. With treatment, the duration may be shorter. Therefore, choice B (up to nine months) is the best answer.
