A sister trope to Go Mad from the Revelation, Driven to Madness represents a deliberate attack upon a character's sanity and mental stability. There are many varied reasons for someone to attempt to drive another person to madness. Perhaps they seek to break the character's will in order to make them more pliable, or it may be an attempt to induce a Freak Out or Face–Heel Turn. They may wish to punish the character or torment them by attacking their loved ones in such a fashion. They may try doing so in order to have someone discredited or declared incompetent. Maybe they're just jerks. Somewhat less evilly, someone may regard sanity as a prison and seek to release a character from its constraints by any means necessary. The methods can vary, as well, from making them doubt their perceptions, to the aforementioned torture, exposure to a Brown Note, or even straight-up Mind Rape. Some Eldritch Abominations drive men mad with their mere presence. Sometimes it can come just from going really really fast. Particularly effective if the character has reason to doubt their own sanity, such as if they have recently been discharged from a mental institution or have undergone a nervous breakdown. Indeed, in such a situation, this often takes the form of a Through the Eyes of Madness plot - at least at first. May be an aspect of the Mind Game Ship if the reasons for the sanity breaking are part of the appeal. Can overlap with Break the Cutie. The subtrope, Gaslighting, is the subtle, insidious form of this. For unintended descents into madness, see Sanity Slippage. Examples |

While Doctor Octopus was driven insane by the accident that turned him into a villain, it has been noted that Spider-Man's constant taunts and beatings drove him farther over the edge. Also, in two separate incidents, he was mentally scarred after pissing Spider-Man off. One of those times involved Spidey ripping his mechanical arms off. | |

Batman: The Killing Joke: In which The Joker attempts to drive Commissioner Gordon insane and fails. Unfortunately, a detective who has the misfortune of overseeing Joker being processed through to jail in Batman Confident is indeed driven to madness, turning into a cop-killing psychopath who ultimately commits suicide when he realizes how Joker turned him into a monster. Subverted with Harley Quinn, who was was insane but functional when she first met the Joker; Joker simply gave her an excuse to give up control to her crazy side. As someone put it elsewhere on the site, "the Joker might have driven her mad, but Harley was willing to car-pool." After having Mad Scientist Hugo Strange beaten to death, 'Boss' Rupert Thorne is visited by Strange's ghost until he eventually goes mad and is sent to Arkham Asylum. |

The Wedding: Jack begins to become insane and mentally unstable, the longer the portal in his basement is open. Lack of sleep was part of the reason why the demons and monsters roaming his house made it easier for him to go insane. His notes also indicate that his wife apparently summoned some extra demons, specifically to terrify him, but exactly how accurate that is, given Jack's mental state when writing that part. | |

All the Outer Gods of the Cthulhu Mythos can drive one insane, but Nyarlathotep is apparently the only one who seeks to do so For the Evulz. Arguable. Outside of his eponymous short story, Nyarlathotep doesn't just randomly harass anybody. In the Haunter of the Dark he seeks to kill his summoner, because he didn't provide an appropriate sacrifice, in The Dreams in the Witch-House he just played a role as a guardian to the secrets beyond human ken who receives sacrificial tribute in return of allowing individuals to cross that veil, and in the Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath he is seeking retribution against Randolph Carter for trying to see Earth's god's he had sworn to protect (and dominate) for unknown purposes, and is content to have a nice chat over a cup of tea. |

Harry Potter: Neville Longbottom's parents, Frank and Alice, were tortured into insanity right after Voldemort's first fall by a group of Death Eaters. They've been institutionalized in St. Mungo's ever since. Ariana Dumbledore went mad when some Muggle boys attacked her (it's never specified in what way but it's implied to not be pretty) after they caught her doing magic. She was playing outside and couldn't do the trick for them again. Her family kept what happened to her a secret so the Ministry wouldn't institutionalize her because she posed a risk to the International Statue of Secrecy as she couldn't control her magic anymore. |

Gordon Freeman, in Freeman's Mind, starts to behave more and more erratically as time passes and things happen (not that he wasn't a bit of a Cloud Cuckoo Lander to begin with).

In Super Paper Mario, King Croacus in Chapter 5 was driven to madness because of the trash the Cragnons threw in the water the Floro Sapiens had to drink. That caused him to abduct and brainwash the Cragnons for the sake of his people and to build a palace filled with gems. Mario and Co stopped and defeated him, prompting the Floro Sapiens to scold them by explaining what was going on. The Cragnons promised to keep the water clean, putting an end to King Croacus' madness and tyranny. | |

American Dad!: Stan Smith is such an idiot he repeatedly forgets his anniversary despite how terrifying his wife Francine gets when he does. In "American Fung", he hastily gets Francine committed to a mental hospital for a few days so he can have more time to plan. Again, Stan is such an idiot he keeps forgetting the reason Francine was locked up, and by the day she's released, he has nothing prepared. When Stan greets Francine with a bucket of fried chicken and offers an incredibly half-assed explanation of how he did everything "for love", Francine not only states she genuinely hates Stan but she goes insane for real and gets committed indefinitely. | |

Avatar: Avatar: The Last Airbender: Princess Azula, who in the span of one summer loses the fear (and love, in her own way) of her best friends, learns her father will never love her no matter what she does, loses the Fire Lord title to Zuko in an Agni Kai, and has her philosophies proven completely wrong to her. Too many blows to the psyche send Azula into a frothing madness in which she's actually developed Split Personalities between the manipulative and the lunatic. The Fog of Lost Souls from The Legend of Korra is a prison within the Spirit World for humans. The fog bombards its occupants with images of their greatest fears and failures, slowly driving them mad over the course of decades if not centuries. Zhao has been reduced to a Talkative Loon, and Tenzin and his siblings begin to fall to the Fog's effects after only a few minutes of wandering. |

In Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition, the mere presence of a demon lord can drive nearby creatures mad. What form that madness takes depends on the demon lord in question: the two-headed Demogorgon might drive people into violent paranoia, for instance, while the vicious Yeenoghu might instill cannibalistic urges into his victims. | |

This practice was put into place after Tetsuji, the clan's founder, wound up obtaining tattoos of his own to restore his youth and went on a madness-fueled rampage. The Ninja begins to have this happen to him as well as the game progresses. If he chooses to kill Azai in the ending, he passes the point of no return. | |

Stone Ocean: In the past, Weather Report was a kind man with a strong sense of justice. However, after the Ku Klux Klan members that Pucci unwittingly hired nearly beat him to death, strung him up on a tree, and caused his girlfriend to commit suicide, Weather became enraged at the entire world enough to develop Heavy Weather, which is why Pucci stole his memories after seeing how dangerous he became. | |

Words of Radiance (second book of The Stormlight Archive): Szeth, the Assassin in White, finally loses his long battle with his own insanity by the end of this book. The realization that his servitude—and the resulting slaughters he created—were completely avoidable sends him screaming over the edge. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Princess Azula, who in the span of one summer loses the fear (and love, in her own way) of her best friends, learns her father will never love her no matter what she does, loses the Fire Lord title to Zuko in an Agni Kai, and has her philosophies proven completely wrong to her. Too many blows to the psyche send Azula into a frothing madness in which she's actually developed Split Personalities between the manipulative and the lunatic. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has this happen to Gul Dukat after he witnesses the death of his daughter, at the climax of a long string of personal and career setbacks. His redeeming features and likable character traits had been submerged by his arrogance and ruthless ambition many episodes previously, but it's hard not to pity him as he cradles her corpse and mumbles to her in a broken monotone. Dukat eventually comes out of his Villainous BSoD, but becomes steadily more unhinged and even more dangerous for it, even before he becomes the Bajoran religious equivalent of a Dark Messiah. | |

In V for Vendetta, V kills every Norsefire employee who'd once worked at the concentration camp where he'd been imprisoned. Every employee, that is, except for Lewis Prothero, who as the camp commander had selected him, among other prisoners, to be subjects of medical experimentation. Because said experimentation drove V mad, he drives Prothero mad by kidnapping him, sticking him in a replica of the camp, and cremating his beloved rare doll collection before his eyes. | |

Our Miss Brooks: "The School Board Psychologist" sees the Head of the Board, Mr. Stone, appoint a psychologist to examine the faculty of Madison High School. He's given the broad authority to fire any faculty who he believes is unfit for the teaching profession. The psychologist is already overworked, and is provably unfit to make recommendations (he suggests, for example, Mr. Boynton should be an exterminator). Miss Brooks, Mr. Boynton, Walter Denton, and eventually Mr. Conklin himself gaslight the psychologist until he withdraws his recommendations and takes his much needed rest. | |

Stopped from wrecking the Enterprise in an attempt to destroy the Planet Killer, Decker decides that his death is the only way he can atone for killing his crew, and rams a shuttlecraft down the Planet Killer's maw. Then in "The Omega Glory" Captain Tracey goes insane after losing his entire crew to the Omega IV virus, making him another Sole Survivor. Matters are not helped by Tracey thinking he's found a fountain of youth on the planet and using his technology to aide the Kohm in their war against the Yangs.

Hartman decides to punish everyone whenever Pyle messes up. It comes to a head when Joker joins the other recruits in blanket party and Pyle actually improves in his training, but Joker becomes concerned when he starts to talk to his rifle and becomes more and more disconnected from reality. It all ends when in their final night before deployment, Pyle recites the rifleman creed at the top of his lungs, and shoots Sgt. Hartman, after Hartman delivers one more insult too many. Pyle then turns the rifle on himself. | |

In Middle-earth: Shadow of War, players can actually do this to their enemies with the use of their "shaming" ability which makes orcs drop in level and if used enough times, it will make them permanently deranged. When used against Brûz the Chopper in the story mode, he becomes a sobbing wreck that repeats his Madness Mantra endlessly, while other orcs are only capable of saying a few broken words between screaming and snarling. | |

Incidentally, Spider-Man is very good at this even if he doesn't entirely mean to do it. Kraven was so confounded by Spider-Man's humiliating defeats that he went nuts and eventually committed suicide. Electro started off as a typical Jerkass criminal but years of verbal and physical torment had enough of a toll that he is now relegated to asking his mutant girlfriend to shapeshift into Spidey during sex so he could feel in control. While Doctor Octopus was driven insane by the accident that turned him into a villain, it has been noted that Spider-Man's constant taunts and beatings drove him farther over the edge. Also, in two separate incidents, he was mentally scarred after pissing Spider-Man off. One of those times involved Spidey ripping his mechanical arms off. The Chameleon was frightened into a coma when he unknowingly built robot duplicates of Peter Parker's dead parents. It ended up being a case of Beware the Nice Ones. Titania of She-Hulk fame first fought Spidey back in Secret Wars (1984) and instantly acquired a deep fear of Spidey and spiders in general due to the beating/embarrassment she received. Norman Osborn, like Dr. Octopus, was also already crazy when he first went up against the wall-crawler but after his first defeat, he essentially dedicated his entire life to ruining Peter's. In fact, since he was behind The Clone Saga, it was an inverted case since it mentally broke Peter Parker for about a year or two. Several of Spidey's foes have attempted to pull this on him, including Mysterio, Chameleon, Norman Osborn, and even Captain America's foe Dr. Faustus. |

Darkest Dungeon: This is one of two ways that the enemies can kill your party (the other being relentless murder). The entire dungeon is one big stress-fest, with critical hits that crush morale and enemy attacks solely dedicated to freaking your party out. If they reach the breaking point, they go insane. If they reach the breaking point twice, they'll havea heart attack and be immediately dropped to Death's Door, or if they already were, they'll die instantly with No Saving Throw. Good news is, there is a tiny chance that the heroes can find clarity in the eye of the storm, effectively making them even better than normal, but even that can be stripped away with enough stress. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency: Straizo was Driven to Madness by his fear of decaying. Witnessing power as a vampire years ago, he mostly sought the "beauty and eternal youth" bit of it as he is afraid of dying as a withered old man. Stardust Crusaders: Senator Phillips goes off the handle after being unfortunate enough to encounter DIO, experience the effects of The World, and forced to drive through a sidewalk filled with people, ramming through a lot of them in the way. Golden Wind: This is Diavolo's final fate. Upon receiving a thorough Curb-Stomp Battle by Giorno's Gold Experience Requiem, the decisive finishing blow causes Diavolo to be subjected to a never-ending Resurrection/Death Loop, doomed to die repeatedly for eternity. After multiple deaths, he's gone fully insane as he screams at a young girl to stay away from him. Stone Ocean: In the past, Weather Report was a kind man with a strong sense of justice. However, after the Ku Klux Klan members that Pucci unwittingly hired nearly beat him to death, strung him up on a tree, and caused his girlfriend to commit suicide, Weather became enraged at the entire world enough to develop Heavy Weather, which is why Pucci stole his memories after seeing how dangerous he became. |

The Twelve Tasks of Asterix: The titular hero and his friend are sent to "The Place That Sends You Mad", a building from which they are to receive a certain form - alas, within the building lies a ferociously obstructive bureaucracy. So obstructive, in fact, that it briefly pushes Obelix over the edge. Fortunately, Asterix manages to turn the situation around, driving the bureaucrats mad instead - and allowing him to get the form in the process. Earlier in the film, Asterix also manages to cause a hypnotist to turn his power back onto himself, causing the poor man to believe himself a wild boar. Iris may be a poor man, but it's a funny moment. |

In Doctor Who, Rassilon drove the Master to madness by implanting the never-ending sound of war drums in his mind when he stared into the Time Vortex as a child. The Master's last words before one apparent Final Death (it didn't stick) to the Doctor was him asking whether the drumming would finally end. In the Series 9 finale three-parter, the Twelfth Doctor is driven to madness by a Trauma Conga Line: betrayal and capture by both Ashildr and the Time Lords, his companion Clara being Killed Off for Real, and Cold-Blooded Torture at the hands of the latter betrayer, with absolutely no one around to help him through his agony. The result is that he becomes a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds who almost destroys Time itself in the pursuit of a Tragic Dream. He is ultimately pulled back across the Despair Event Horizon, but must endure the losses of his homeworld and people (for now), possibly his confidante Ohila, Clara and his key personal/emotional memories of her in the process of returning to his best self. |

In Child of the Storm, Gravemoss is driven mad (well, madder) thanks to long term exposure to the Darkhold. Evil Is Not a Toy. In the sequel, Ghosts of the Past, Harry is finally driven to the brink of insanity after a brutal Trauma Conga Line at the hands of the Red Room, who tortured him and turned his Blank Slate body into the new and improved version of the Winter Soldier. The result? He becomes the Dark Phoenix, and is only barely talked down. |

In ''Their Midnight Revels While Ariel and Miranda state that Edith and Thomas were mentally ill before they arrived and would have gotten worse if they had not arrived the Downton Duo show signs of being driven there also by their involvement with magic. Both are exhausted from dancing all night and have the urge to continue dancing. They have heightened senses and their brains are overwhelmed by the clairvoyant abilities that they receive. They also have stronger emotions such as rage against their friends and family, and sexuality particularly when Edith attempts to seduce the housemaid, Emily. | |

Superman: Hank Henshaw, better known as the Cyborg Superman, was once a normal scientist until an accident changed him. He watched his friends die, his body disintegrate and, when he had built a robot body for himself, watched his wife commit suicide. When he escaped using a small rocket, he drove himself mad through the incredible loneliness, reasoning to himself that he didn't leave Earth because he was a threat, he was driven off by Superman because he (Superman) was jealous. In Legion of Super-Heroes story The Great Darkness Saga, Darkseid brainwashed the whole Daxamite population into serving him. Darkseid's mind-control was eventually broken, but Ol-Vir remained fanatically devoted to the Lord of Apokolips even after the rest of his race was restored to sanity. Emperor Joker: This is the Joker's objective towards both Batman and Superman after gaining godlike powers from Mr. Mxyzptlk. He basically succeeded with his arch-foe, torturing Bats to death and reviving him each day to do it over again. Supes is half-way there when the comic starts, hunted down as a dangerous criminal by Bizarro each day when he discovers that the now all-powerful Joker is responsible for turning the world into a dark parody of itself. The Strange Revenge of Lena Luthor. Sam, a crook who had been put in jail by Lena Colby's deceased husband, decides to take revenge on Jeff Colby by paying a gang to gaslight his widow until driving her crazy. |

What Akito Sohma did to Kana in Fruits Basket. After Akito blinded Hatori for asking for permission to marry Kana, Akito turned against the poor nurse and blamed her so much for Hatori's partial blindness that she went mad. It was so bad that Hatori had to delete Kana's memories of their relationship. Ironically, Akito herself was driven to madness upon years of monstrous psychological abuse coming from her mother Ren. As a little kid, Akito was naive and bad-tempered but not evil; however, she completely snapped and became a massive Yandere with some of the worst issues in the whole cast. | |

The fog bombards its occupants with images of their greatest fears and failures, slowly driving them mad over the course of decades if not centuries.

River Tam is driven mad by the government and the knowledge she learns from the officials who come to see her. Not to mention the show's Reavers, who will occasionally keep one victim alive and force said victim to watch their shipmates be raped to death, skinned and eaten. The survivor will ultimately go mad from the experience and will only cope by becoming a Reaver themselves. |

In Emperors of Illusions, this is the goal of the protagonists, as far as The Emperor is concerned. They have nothing against him personally (except for Kay, whose home planet was destroyed at the Emperor's order), but a Corrupt Corporate Executive thinks that the Emperor created this universe and wishes to pay him back for that by destroying humankind, so they decide to get rid of the Emperor. However, since Resurrective Immortality exists in this universe, the Emperor cannot be killed permanently. Their plan is to cause him to lose his mind in a way that is irreversible. It nearly works, but the final trigger phrase fails because the Emperor is not the creator of the world, resulting in an Empire-wide manhunt for the conspirators. | |
