The structure that composes individuals' attribute, meaning and value is defined as culture.

While some of these behavioral patterns are accepted by the society, some are excluded. Behaviours other than those accepted by the society manifest themselves in the expression of symptoms of mental disorder. While the cultural structure is addressed both on the basis of the mental disorder statement, and shows the effects of the individual in there recovery process defined as living with mental disorder statements, coping with disorder, regaining control of life and finding meaning from life.
