	Designated patient - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In social psychology, the designated patient is a person socially constructed as "mentally ill", regardless of the existence of real and measurable symptoms.
		Most social units, such as the family, have a designated patient: i.e., a person seen as "abnormal" or as a nonconformist by the rest of the unit.
		Should this person suddenly change or conform, the unit selects a new designated patient.
