So, the short answer is; being evaluated by a Mental Health Clinician, preferably a Board Certified Psychiatrist; and if you are below 18 years of age, a Board Certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist; is the only way to categorize the signs that you are referring to.
That having been said, if you have any strange feeling about yourself or your environment around you, or feel sad and tearful most of the time, or have to drink alcohol or use cigarettes or drugs to be calm or to sleep, or feel paranoid or suspicious of the motive of others (without justification), or hear voices or see things, or have anger problems-to mention a few; then you definitely need to talk to an age appropriate Board Certified Psychiatrist, and he or she will tell you if you have any signs of mental illness or not.
