Of course it makes sense! We feel how we feel, period. Sometimes, how we feel has nothing to do with our circumstances...which is why I believe a lot of mental health problems are almost purely biochemically based.
Certainly everyone has heard a story about a pretty, popular cheerleader that was always laughing and then went home one day and killed herself-or similar story. The point is that the doc understands that you can be depressed (I sure hope) without asking "what are you depressed about?"-the answer may be "nothing in the external world". But that doesn't mean you aren't suffering.
Maybe you're afraid the doc will poo-poo your depression/anxiety because you don't have something to say like, "my family just got wiped out in a car crash" or even "my gerbil has diabetes"? If he/she does, they need to find a different profession. Good luck!
