I think your a bit intellectual for me but it wasn't the case of "When you lose all joy in life" I have no recollection of joy when depression hit, I discovered i was unacceptably different as soon as I started school at 5, before that I was aware that my siblings hated me, so the only pleasure I had was the countryside I grew up in, pleasure in life didn't hit till 1993 when my first born arrived, but even that became a struggle. In my childhood,like anyone of my age 51, there was no help available, my mum took me to a child psychiatrist and even he committed suicide soon after :roll:
Am I normal or not, in many ways I am, I'm a wife, mother and daughter, I do day to day activities and try to keep on top of things, all normal, yet I've been sectioned several times, spent months in hospital and wait till the next collapse which may happen in the next 15 mins or in several years time, it will happen, it always does.

"when you lose all joy in life you can begin to question what the point of it is"
That is a wonderfully ambiguous statement, so let's paraphrase it two ways:
A)"when you lose all joy in life, you are placed in the terrible position of having to question what the point of it is."
B)"when you lose all joy in life, you are placed in the fortunate position of getting the chance to question what the point of it is."
I'm pretty sure that the locutor means 'A'. That is why he is so glad to get 'professional help' straight after.
He's not really comfortable with that black dog at all. He has to domesticate it and make it small.
Afaict it is 'normal' to be in denial about your existential situation. And 'normal' is a synonym for 'sane'.
The problem is family
