That's relatively rare. Perhaps that is more common with certain psychology and medical progams (e.g. a degree specialization in mental health may receive questions about the applicants mental health and overall medical history).
I'd be interested to know more about the context in terms of the particular graduate program, the year that you applied, and the detailed questions asked. One issue with those types of questions is in what the institution will do with the information.
