there is no one action or comment that will symbolize any particular mental condition. the issues rests inthe concept that, in large part, we don't know each other as individuals in society anymore.
think of how many/few peole you can honestly say you know intimately. i woudl bet there are very few people that you know much about, even within family.
the inverse is the town my mom is from in upstate, ny. most of my family still lives up there and they all know me and my brother and everything about my mom. even though i only get up there a few times a year, they know me well enough to see if i am ove tired, stressed, in a bad mood, or if i am feeling and doing well. it isn't really the level of care that is so different than my neighbors here, it is the willingness to be involved and engaged with the people around them.
my point is, if you talk to people and take the time to listen, you will know when something just isn't right.
