Excuse if this is a naive question. How does one go about evaluating one's own mental health?

  That's a really great question. Honestly? If you're asking that question, I'd say that you shouldn't. Instead, you should see a therapist or counselor. The reason for this is that one of the primary things a good therapist does for you is to teach you how to do that, and what to do with the insights a self-evaluation gives you. Seeking a therapist is not something that should be limited to people who are in crisis, and is not a commitment to lifelong therapy. Any good therapist will be thrilled to hear that you want to see them to learn how to evaluate and manage your mental health.
