Nervios
Ataque de nervios (Spanish pronunciation: [aˈtake ðe ˈneɾβjos]) (F45.8, R45.0), also known as nervous tension mal de pelea (disease of fighting), "hyperkinetic seizure," and "The Puerto Rican Syndrome" is a psychological syndrome mostly associated in the United States with Spanish-speaking people from the Caribbean, although it is also commonly identified across Iberian-descended cultures. Ataque de nervios translates into English as "attack of nerves". In its cultural context, the term refers to a specific pattern of symptoms, rather than a general feeling of nervousness.
The Diccionario Panhispánico de Términos Médicos translates the term as "attack of nerves" or "nervous breakdown".
The condition appears in Appendix I of the revised fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) as a culture-bound syndrome.
