The definitions of "normal":

1. Referring to a force perpendicular to another force.
2. Referring to a concentration of 1 mole of atoms per liter
3. A college that trains teachers.
4. Usual.
5. Operating at its healthiest potential, with nothing wrong with it.

That definition #5 is a medical term. A "normal" heart is one that's perfect. I doubt many of us have those.

Me, I didn't know for sure whether I was depressed until it was treated. At that point, I was sure. The difference was as different as two things that you'd use as exemplars for different things if you were creating a simile to express a vast degree of difference.
