Ataque de Nervios
Ataque de Nervios is a culture-bound syndrome. "Ataque de nervios [is] an idiom of distress principally reported among Latinos from the Caribbean, but recognized among many Latin American and Latin Mediterranean groups. Commonly reported symptoms include uncontrollable shouting, attacks of crying, trembling, and verbal or physical aggression. Dissociative experiences, seizure like or fainting episodes, and suicidal gestures are prominent in some ataques but absent in others. A general feature of an ataque de nervios is a sense of being out of control. Ataques de nervios frequently occur as a direct result of a stressful event relating to the family (e.g., news of the death of a close relative, a separation or divorce from a spouse, conflicts with a spouse or children, or witnessing an accident involving a family member). People may experience amnesia for what occurred during the ataque de nervios, but they otherwise return rapidly to their usual level of functioning."

Latin Origin
Ataque de Nervios- is a disorder that has been seen amongst many Latinos. It is said that the disorder can have an onset caused by trauma or a stressful situation any time in life.
