This is different for different people because mental illnesses differ from person to person. it can range from a month to years. many do not afford such costly things, so it may take longer

GAD is the only anxiety disorder that is still common in people aged 50 years or more. ... common mental disorders, such as other anxiety disorders, major depression.
