KembaraXtra-Psychology - ataque de nervios
Ataque de nervios is a culture-bound syndrome reported mainly in Latino Caribbean communities and also across many Latin American and Mediterranean cultures, featuring sudden episodes of uncontrollable shouting, crying, trembling, heat sensations rising from chest to head, and aggression (verbal and physical), alongside a strong feeling of losing control, usually triggered by psychosocial stressors such as bereavement, divorce, or family conflict. It is sometimes interpreted as resembling a panic attack; the plural is ataques de nervios, and the phrase literally means “attack of nerves.”
