nervos in popular media:
"Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PypMOEKJuh8
The actual title refers in Spanish to "un ataque de nervios" which is not actually well translated by "nervous breakdown". "Ataques de nervios" are culture-bound psychological phenomena during which the individual, most often female, displays dramatic outpouring of negative emotions, bodily gestures, occasional falling to the ground, and fainting, often in response to receiving disturbing news or witnessing or participating in an upsetting event.
