What I Google-d: Who do people cry when they’re sad?

Studies have shown that emotional tears contain more manganese, an element that affects temperament, and more prolactin, a hormone that regulates milk production. Sobbing out manganese and prolactin is thought to relieve tension by balancing the body’s stress levels and eliminating build ups of the chemicals, making the crier feel better.

According this it is not common water but contains hormones which are extracted from our body in order to reduce the feeling of sadness, given the fact that hormones are chemical substances which can define our mood and alter our behaviour.

Crying, is said to have an extra purpose, which is none but a form of communication in desperate times.
