I meditate two hours a day, every day. Mostly Zazen. I haven't experienced mental breakdowns. However, when I first started using imagery as a focal point, I would weep uncontrollably about mid-way through my meditation session. I think it was a release of pent-up emotion.

It lasted about a week and then stopped completely.

I sometimes start crying midway through a meditation (I do mostly Goenka-style mindfulness meditation). At this point, I just sort of see it as normal.
