gameObject.activeSelf is true if its active and false if its not.
However, and object can be active, but if its parent is not active it will function as if it were inActive.
you can check this with
gameObject.activeInHierarchy This is true if the object is active AND all its parents are active.

Like this for example:

        void CheckGameObject()
        {
            if (!yourGameObject.activeSelf)
            {
                // do something, if it is not active...
            }
            else
            {
                // do something, if it is active...
            }
        }
