when you pass out from emotional strain, how long are you out for?

I'm working on a book and this girl passes out from emotional strain and stress. I don't know how long is normal to be passed out from one of these attacks, but i need to know the largest amount of time thats possible, for the time to work out the way i want it too. Thanks very much ^_^

Update:

I should specify that i'm talking not so much a panic attack, but more like being emotionally drained and just kinda falling asleep from the stress. So not so much fainting, but more like.. i don't know, falling asleep? lol

    30 to 45 seconds would be my guess. Once you hit the floor the blood gets to your brain easier and you come around.
