Is this new? Never ever was asked this.
I said "fine", because it is. I don't feel it is his business either way. If someone wants to discuss their mood they can bring it up and that's fine. To me, him asking is intrusive.
Are you on Medicare? If so, that's NOT intrusive at all, and I'm surprised you would think so.
Medicare REQUIRES health care providers and insurance companies to "cover all the bases" so those types of questions are necessary ... by law.

One's mood is part of one's overall health... I have no problem being asked this question. People are still not comfortable talking about mental health. It's too bad.
