I can't believe they don't train their staff better!!!
I rarely get asked questions like that, oddly enough. Well, not so oddly I guess. In person I radiate a personal space bubble that people are loath to violate. And if someone does by chance ask something impertinent I can manage to convey that without saying much.
Actually, though, when it does come up, it's usually because someone's father/aunt/themselves is on similar medication. And the questions are friendly and relatively on target. I must live in an area with poor mental health and/or lots of doctors.
And of course, if you carry baggage about similar questions from your parents, it's bound to be more distressing and disorienting. My parents didn't ask that one. (grin) They knew what I was depressed about. I didn't relax and party/play enough (father). I didn't pray enough (mother).
