I think that definition is %100 bang on.
Hmm...actually, now that you mention it I think I agree that it is spot on. I read the definition again, and if I take a nice long look at myself I see a lot of me in that definition. For example, I've never been diagnosed, but I would say I've struggled with an eating disorder. I'm not outwardly angry especially towards others. However, like you mentioned, people would be shocked at my thoughts and negative inner critic. Those thoughts of self violence can be intense on myself.
