Can a person know if they have a mental disorder before other people notice? Many mental disorders have symptoms that are internal. If someone with depression always feels sad and tired, but does not act that way because he or she is afraid of others judging, then that person may realize that he or she has a mental disorder before others do. However, other mental disorders have a lack of insight, meaning that people with them do notrealize that something is wrong with them.
