Summary Introduction

Concept introduction:

Millions of people across the world are living with some kind of mental or behavioral disorder. While there are those psychological disorders that are more universal, some other disorders are more culture-specific. Susto is a term used not only to describe where these psychological disorders typically occur, but also what features tend to characterize them. Susto is culture-specific, only prevalent in Latin American cultures, and is a psychological condition characterized by chronic anxiety, restlessness, and fear of black magic.
