Normal is actually different in many different places, and cultures. So the actual definition of "Normal" is -Within the norms of society-! So depending on what part of the world, or area you live in, you could still be considered "Normal". And to have these questions in mind, and want to know the answers, is perfectly normal! When you look at these other people around you in puplic, you never know, they might be fighting Depression as well! It's very common in society these days, and in the olden days!
Just because you're fighting a Mental illness, does not make you abnormal, because many people are fighting mental illnesses, it's a disease beyond your control. So to blame you,and say your not normal,because of it. Would be like blaming someone for Cancer,or Diabetis,and saying that they are not normal because of it!
So it is perfectly normal,and healthy to be asking these questions!I hope this helps in any way!
