I also don't relate the angry spells which are often described here. I know that leading up to my severe depression that I was really angry about my life circumstances and that it lasted quite a while. The anger was legitimate and based on the circumstances, appropriate. I don't think it was part of the depression, but I think staying angry for so long without dealing with it was contributory. I have learned to express my anger in therapy. When I do, I don't scream or yell or throw things. I talk it out, sometimes with a raised tone, but none of the rest.
