"Susto" is a [folk illness] said to be caused from suffering a fright experience. Symptoms of susto seem to correlate with symptoms of anxiety or depression: difficulty sleeping, listlessness, etc. The belief is that susto will not resolve itself but must be treated. The traditional cure is through the rituals of the curandero.
