I've had Mono for about 3 weeks. How much longer might it last? My main question, though, is does it affect your moods? I've been super lethargic, irritable, tired, depressed, etc. I do have actual Depression. So it is just that, or both combined, or what? I don't like feeling so emotinally fragile. My body is weak and apparently so is my mind. . . ? Thanks for answers.

My parents both had mono, most of my friends have, I've looked it up on the internet like, 570438 times. And from their experiences given to me, it could possibly at the MOST three months. But it really depends on how much SLEEP you get, because one girl I know, only had it for about 3 weeks because she slept the wh ole time. Because since its a virus, and its always in your system, you need to sleep. It can affect your moods in many ways. Mono makes you very tired, and your body very weak. For some or most people tired can lead to being depressed. My brother stays up all night basically every night, and the smallest problem makes him very depressed because of lack of sleep and possibly other things. irritibility and being lethargic are very much realated to sleep. Once you get enough sleep you might feel a sudden burst of energy, and then you'll get tired again and you'll get a lot of mood swings.
