I think its just in how they act, if they aren't acting like they normally do then there is usually something wrong. Or if someone is trying to play it off as they are just fine but there not i can usually tell by how they laugh or smile. I can just tell that it is fake.
But a lot of people hide their feelings because they dont want to talk about it. Just talk to them and tell them that you are here if they ever need to talk.

The one thing to look out for is any unusual behaviour which that person may be displaying, such as a being more quiet than usual, or not eating as much. Things like that.
Also, listen to what they talk about, if they refer to something more than once, even if it's a small refernce, then you know that something is on thier mind.
Also, look at their facial expressions. They may try to hide their feelings, but their face will give it away.
If you do find out that they are going through a touhg time, then offer to listen to them so that they can get whatever it is off their chest and talk about it. Trust me, no matter how painful it may be, the best thing to do is to talk about it because in the process of talking about it, you can begin to heal yourself.
