susto is a cultural syndrome primarily recognized in Latin American communities. It is often described as a condition resulting from a sudden fright or traumatic experience, leading to symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, and physical ailments. People believe that the soul may have left the body due to the shock, causing a disconnection between the individual and their well-being. Treatment for susto typically involves traditional healing practices, which may include rituals, herbal remedies, and spiritual guidance. These methods aim to restore balance and reconnect the individual with their soul, helping them recover from the emotional and physical effects of the fright.
