Is it useful to cry?

Many people believe that after you have cried your mood became better, but it's not always true.

Psychologists from the United States have developed a test in which test subjects were asked to describe his feeling after the weeping. It turned out the benefits of crying is not undeniable - its effect depends on specific circumstances, as well as the individual characteristics of people.

Not all respondents said that they feel better after the tears. 30% said their mood after crying does not change, while 10% of volunteers admitted that it was even worse than before.

Psychologists have established the law - only those who was given empathy from other started to feel better. Also crying is beneficial in terms of physiology - it relaxes and slows breathing.

However, there is a category of people for whom weeping is harmful. For those who suffer from high anxiety tears will only exacerbate mental pain.
