Crying is Good for Your Mood

Posted on August 27, 2015

(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Past studies have shown mixed results where crying and emotional rebound are concerned. But this one, which analyzed the emotional swings of 60 test subjects after watching a sad film, sought to explain those discrepancies.

A total of 28 participants cried, and immediately after the movie ended, they felt their moods were worse than before. The non-criers didn’t experience a change.

Which tearjerker made you cry the most?

After 20 minutes, the criers felt better, returning to their pre-movie moods.

But things really got interesting at the 90-minute mark. While the non-criers remained even keeled, the weepers actually felt better than they did before the quasi-experimental study started.

So go ahead and let it out! And give it time.
