Sure, but I'd say it's like any other natural human emotional response: some is ok, and to be expected, but if it happens all the time, either for no reason or way over the top, you might want to gently ask some questions.
Too much crying can pretty much be a sign of any serious disturbance, but if you are talking with a person who either has depression or any signs of complicated grief (grieving as in mourning the loss of a family member, only complicated by other problems such as anxiety or depression), you really need to approach the person and situation humbly, *Gently* and respectfully. Suggesting the person might want to talk to someone, and then humbly and briefly mentioning that professional help might be an option if things get too bad, is likely one good way to go...at least this way, you get the other person to talk with *someone* versus just crying all the time.
But yeah, crying is a normal and healthy response, so you should have some tolerance for it really. Try not to complain about it until or unless the person *doing* the crying notices it's a problem too. We aren't doctors here and aren't really trained to *spot* the distinction between normal variations and actual illnesses, you know?
I hope this helps....thanks for your time!

Yes, it's healthy and very normal. It's an expression of emotion. I don't have any emotions so I don't cry....It's really not good to hold things in, so if you feel like crying, go ahead and cry. Sometimes a good cry actually helps people feel better.

I believe it does. Whenever I'm stressed out, I just have a good cry for a few minutes and all my tension is just released! According to the book 'The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things', Dr. Larry Dossey states that crying may be the process of releasing wastes in our body. When they are excreted, we feel better.

Everyone needs to release emotions, and crying is the best way to do it, everyone needs to cry, it is a healthy release of emotions. Surpressing it is a bad thing to do, because then you end up doing bad things like cutting to release your bad feelings. As long as a person doesnt cry everynite to sleep, cuz then you may have a problem.

It is healthy for people to cry but don't cry in front of people who will take that as a sign of weakness

It is healthy as long as the crying does not last too long. If it is gut wrenching crying for no reason then see a doctor.

When the situation is appropriate, crying is very healthy. It is only symptomatic of a disorder when the response is disproportionate to the circumstance, or there is no stimulus at all.

Yes, it a great release of stress for me and I'm not afraid to admit it. When I feel overwhelmed or feel something building up inside me, i just cry it out
