For those 'people often say...' questions, there's huge cultural variations in how acceptable it is to even talk about one's personal traits. 'people say I am very blunt' - sorry I don't know anyone blunt enough to say that.
In your case, I think you'd answer Agree for this question. It's not up to you to tease out if it's the result of condition X or condition Y. And your health provider shouldn't be making that determination based purely on which option you picked on a self-report questionnaire.
But do I "agree"? Maybe I'm very good at figuring out other people, I just haven't had enough opportunity to test it and come to any conclusions about my ability. I'm definitely overthinking this, as I usually do, because I probably don't fully understand the possible implications of answering "agree" or "don't agree" and I hate not understanding.
