Actually I think that’s the right answer. Saying “it’s normal to feel miserable” is what a 50s doctor or a Catholic priest would say, not someone who wants to do no harm.
And? Don’t you want individualized treatment from your medical professionals? It’s not like the doc went to this person’s workplace and they had a fucking icebreaker about depression. It’s a 1x1 clinical environment: “no life does not need to be this way and we can help you” isn’t “singled out” its individual care.

Wait, it’s not normal to feel miserable?
Because they got singled out in the process.

The doctor basically told the patient that they are not normal.
No such thing
