Susto, or fright, is a cultural syndrome primarily recognized in Latin American communities. It is believed to occur after a traumatic or frightening event, leading to symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, and physical ailments. The condition is often attributed to the soul leaving the body due to extreme fear. Treatment for susto typically involves traditional healing practices, including rituals and herbal remedies. In some cases, individuals may seek help from a curandero, or folk healer, who uses spiritual and medicinal methods to restore balance and well-being. Understanding susto highlights the intersection of culture, psychology, and health.
