Answers:

I'll be checking back hoping someone give an answer. This is a great question.

Maybe it is just a reaction to pain- any sort of pain - most physical pain makes your eyes water to some degree- also babies cry if they are in pain or discomfort

Maybe the body cant distinguish between emotional/mental pain and physical pain and creates a similar response?

Just some ideas.
