The symptoms usually have an acute onset and reach their peak within two weeks. The symptoms start resolving in a few weeks and complete recovery usually occurs within 2–3 months. The symptoms that can help determine what mental illness it is are small but extreme psychotic outbreaks that have complete remission. (NCIB) It was found that the younger the patient the more likely they will have this mental illness. (sagepub) This mental illness was first introduced in 1886, by Magnan.

Boufée delirante may be accompanied by auditory or visual hallucinations or paranoid ideation, and has features of a psychotic episode.
