"Shedding emotions through crying releases hormones like oxytocin and endorphins. These feel-good hormones help to reduce stress and anxiety and can also reduce symptoms of depression, improve our mood, and ease physical and emotional pain."

We shed tears of joy, because after shedding tears for all the sadness, disappointment and challenges we finally have joy in life.

Crying tears of joy has a purpose. They can help to keep emotional balance. People who cry from happiness when they're overwhelmed can actually recover better from the original feeling that caused them to cry.

Endorphins are released in response to positive experiences and can contribute to feelings of joy and elation. When we experience an intense release of endorphins, it can lead to tears of happiness.

AS MULHERES, POR TEREM FILHOS, SEREM MAIS SENSÍVEIS, ETC. TENDEM A RIR E CHORAR, E DERRAMAR LÁGRIMAS SEM TER VERGONHA DOS OUTROS.
