People who are confused about the sources of their own emotions—a condition that in the extreme is called alexithymia—also tend to report little benefit from a burst of tears, studies have found.

| Alexithymia is formed of the Greek roots a-, meaning "not," léxis, meaning "speech," and-thymia, which is used in the formation of compound words that denote mental disorders. |
