Dealing With Sumpong
The basic expectation of one who meets a person with sumpong is to go away or to refrain from jesting with the person. One way of dealing with a person with sumpong is to respond to the person with the mood problem with friendly overtures or expressions of concern. Not to do this may, however, cause spontaneous healing ("nawala na ang sumpong") after a short "cooling off" period. In most cases of sumpong, healing the inner, emotional relationship between two people is usually more critical than resolving the issue itself.
