Susto or "fright sickness" is a cultural illness with strong psychological overtones. Caused by a frightening or traumatic experience, susto affects any age group. Its symptoms include extreme lethargy, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and irritability. A severe form of the illness is when the person believes that his or her spirit leaves the body because of the fright.

Curanderismo, a traditional healing method some Mexican-Americans use for a number of conditions such as susto, involves a combination of prayer, herbal medicine, massage, and healing rituals. This tradition appears among individuals in Hispanic-American communities, particularly in the Southwestern United States.

Although, interviews with members of Hispanic communities in Mexico and Texas indicated that the majority of individuals had not actually heard of susto.
