A member asked:
Is it possible to be aware that you have a mental illness before being diagnosed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You notice that the person, or you, is just not right. The formal diagnosis is made by a doctor, but you are the one that presents with the symptoms that are bothering you, or being noticed by others.
