As in: Often you can determine an adult person who has the mental ability of a child from their face without talking to them. It’s not that they look bad!

Another reason that hasn’t been mentioned is facial expressions. A lot of mental disorders will also result in emotional/social issues, so sufferers will often have ‘inappropriate’ facial expressions. E.g blank looks, constant smiling or lack of eye contact. This will be obvious to others and make it clear a person has a serious mental illness.
