Let's Get Psyched

#169 - Culture-Bound Syndromes of Latinx Culture


Listen Later

We welcome Megan Aguilera to the “Let’s Get Psyched” team by asking her to discuss one of her special interests. Terms such as “susto” and “ataque de nervios” are frequently used in Latin America to describe a variety of emotional reactions and behaviors that are often similar—but distinct from—mental health conditions commonly seen by clinicians. Megan, a fourth year medical student at the University of Colorado Denver, helps us sort through how and when these terms are used while also sharing her understanding of these terms amongst her family and community.

Hosts: Eyrn, Toshia, Al

Guest: Megan Aguilera, MS4
