My wife who has some mental health difficulties linked to her overall health finds crying cathartic (indeed, when one antidepressant effectively stopped her crying at all, we changed her medication to another), so this piece on the role of crying (from the new Observer) reporting on Hidefumi Yoshida's crying workshops struck a chord.
if you've ever wondered about crying's emotional utility, you might also find this of interest.
