Best Answer

if they speak to themselves.

It can be even more subtle than that. It depends on the mental disorder they have. They could become withdrawn, quite, suddenly angry or sad, and so on. If anyone shows any of these signs it is best to get them help. It could always be something simple. But if not it could lead to suicide or drugs or even alcohol. There are many sites you can go to find the answers you may be looking for. However, when in doubt consult a physician in the Mental Health field.

Is there a test or someone you can talk to to diagnose and determine what mental disorder someone has?

If, by your question, you mean is there a way to determine whether someone is mentally ill secondhand, that is, by talking to a friend or relation of the person in question, then the answer is no. Mental illness can only be diagnosed through interviewing and testing the person in question directly. It is generally pretty easy to know when someone is in need of psychotherapy, but the only way to diagnose what the illness might be is by a personal interview.
