I think it depends on the topic and intensity. For example, significant anger over poor freeway design and traffic is extremely common and not a sight of a psychological disorder. Same with terrible UI on common apps

Anger is one thing; it can even be productive, for example by leading OP to advocate and work for better subway accessibility. It's the taking it personally, and the (OP's word) depression that indicate a problem.
