If you are feeling good and if others around you are providing you with feedback that suggests that they are happy (or at least not alarmed) with how you are treating them, then you are probably doing fine. Most of the time, you will know if you have a significant mental health problem because it will affect your life in a noticeable way (e.g., you’ll avoid activities you once enjoyed, or you’ll start hearing voices when you didn’t before). In some minority of cases, your judgment may be compromised and you will not understand that something has happened to you. In this case, it is the people around you who will be the best judges of whether you are doing well (and not your own judgment). If you (or someone who cares about you) thinks there is a problem, then it would be wise to get that problem checked out with a mental health doctor (a Psychiatrist or a Clinical Psychologist).Subject
