D&D 5E 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

[Hohige]

You know somebody cast a spell on you, because you tried to mentally resist it (i.e. made a saving throw) and took damage. You also know that whoever is attacking you is unseen, i.e., probably outside your 60' darkvision.

No. You dont know. You just take mental damage.
Spell? A curse? Your party friend? Your hotdog?

@Hohige I still don't understand how you took 4 oni(s) with 3d8 mind spike they save against about 45-55% of the time and healing 10 hp per round? Would you mind to explain again?

Probably not your hotdog, but it could be a trap, or environmental effect. In such a situation I would expect a creature to retreat to somewhere they had been previously that they did not take damage at, and the proceed from there. If they took damage again then it's likely coming from a malicious source.

The DM didn't show his statistic. Its probaly custom.

Where in the rules does it say you don't know somebody tried to cast a spell on you if it does psychic damage?

Hot Dog is a maliciosus source

We've already got a SA ruling on Suggestion: when it ends, or you succeed your save, you are a spell was cast on you. Presumably this is also true if you lose a battle of wills and have a few synapses fried.

If you cast Suggestion, are they aware that you specifically cast the spell on them after it ends?
