A character (sometimes a StepfordSmiler) may be NotHimself and has a [[FreakOut breakdown]] to show this. This may be expressed by [[LaughingMad laughing]], a BrokenSmile, being hunched over, having a twitchy eye, messy hair and the like. In this case a good way to show that a character has experienced some SanitySlippage or is experiencing a mental/emotional breakdown is to have them feel tears come to their eyes or outright running down their face. The BreakTheCutie is really breaking down. Different from BerserkerTears in the sense that the character isn't crying out of rage. See also VillainousBreakdown for the villain that does this. Often results in a TearJerker.
