This is true, though most people asked that in a casual doctor's appointment aren't actually equipped to delve into that nuance.

Of course, that "no" is the way to extend the conversation to dig a bit deeper. The last thing someone suffering with the conditions needs is for someone to optimistically assume "normal" and brush a potential sign of trouble under the rug as 'normal'. Maybe after a bit more digging it's clear it's just reasonable sadness or nervousness versus something deeper, like a seeming inability to feel pleasure or happiness.
