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.

Is it possible to be born with or develop gradually over years a mental disorder?

Yes, it is possible for a mental disorder to develop slowly. Many disorders develop over the course of many years. Some disorders may be present at birth. Autism spectrum disorder is widely recognized to be present at birth, even though the symptoms do not show until the child is 1-2 years old or later.
