desi,
Just be more aware of two ideas - subsumption under an "umbrella" term and synonymy.
Imagine I wanted to strengthen this argument. If I had an answer that said "Feeling depressed can lead to increased risk of heart disease," I'd examine whether "feeling depressed" falls under the umbrella term "psychological factors" or whether "feeling depressed" is synonymous with "being easily angered".
Here, we have "frustrated by small difficulties" and falling under the umbrella "psychological factors" doesn't seem good enough, so the only question is whether it is the same as "easily being angered." Those aren't the same, so it's irrelevant.
