A member asked:
What is culture shock? can it make you sick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: "Culture shock" is simply the confusion and difficult that happen when a person immigrates to a new country, a group of people with different norms and habits, or way of life. It's something that any successful person overcomes as they manage their life. We can help others adjust and learn new skills; it'll only make you sick if you cannot or will not learn to live with your new neighbors.
