It may be some quirky ideas, the meddling of a Corrupt Corporate Executive or other villain, having noticed something Invisible to Normals, an attempt to dodge jail by getting a jury to call insanity, or just a good old fashioned screw-up, but somehow a reasonably sane character undergoes severe therapy, often in an asylum. Despite their relative normality, they struggle to convince the therapists of the fact. And the more they struggle, the closer they get to lunacy itself, sometimes becoming indistinguishable from the others around them. This can be a one-off, or a background for a villain (and in some cases may cause Motive Decay), or a normal who's cut through the Masquerade. If it's a main character, it's a good reason for writers to examine their motives through the critical psychiatrist's eyes, and see what makes them tick. If a character undergoes this long enough, they may be "cured" of their "delusions" rendering them useless or troublesome until their friends can bring them back, or they may revel in their madness while doing what they did before, possibly with psychobabble. Or they may just end up Ax-Crazy. Different from a Cuckoo Nest plot, as the asylum reality is emphatically real, and not in conflict with anything else that happens. Can be combined with Through the Eyes of Madness. A sub-trope of Wrongfully Committed, something that will indubitably go hand in hand together. See also Had to Come to Prison to Be a Crook. |

Sarah Connor in Terminator 2: Judgment Day was definitely more insane after spending years in a mental asylum (attacking the psychiatrist) than she was before (merely believing in the Terminators). Although it is possible that her experience in the first Terminator set her a path which leads her to violence, including trying to blow up a computer factory. It's also possible that knowing what she knows about the future addled her brains a bit. Based on what we see, it's clear that she was subjected to sexual abuse by the staff and another mistreatment by her therapist. | |

Sweets goes into an asylum to help solve a murder in the Bones fic “The Psychiatrist in the Institution.�. He endures shock therapy torture and drugs and ends up in bad shape and nearly insane by the time he’s rescued. The rest of the team has to work fast to help him recover before he’s placed in another hospital for his own good. Ig wouldn’t have been another evil place but the others know it would take him from the people he’s most comfortable with and deal a setback to recovery. | |

In the Psych episode "Shawn, Interrupted", Shawn goes undercover in a mental institution in order to determine if a suspect is faking insanity in order to evade a murder conviction; it turns out that he’s not, that receiving proper treatment and medication helps him greatly, and that he was framed for the original murder. | |

Cestmir's adult form (caused by one of the magical flowers) looks like his father. Cestmir is a weird boy as it is, and with his cloudcuckoolander pre-teen behaviour, he just can't successfully pass for a sane adult. | |

An episode of Threshold had a man who had been locked up in an insane asylum after killing his entire family when he was 12. After Threshold investigates, they discover that his family had been infected by an alien artifact, and given the circumstances, what he did was actually justified. His current mental instability is the result of having been in an asylum and on drugs for so long. He doesn't actually get released due to a need to keep up the Masquerade, but he is transferred to a better facility where he won't be put on drugs. | |

In The Wolfman (2010), Lawrence gets locked in an asylum for ranting that he's a werewolf. He'd previously been committed as a boy, to help him suppress the trauma of his mother's death, because he'd been ranting (quite truthfully) that his father was a werewolf and had killed her. One of his psychiatrists makes the grave mistake of showing him to colleagues when the moon is about to get full, in hopes of showing his delusion when he doesn't transform. It doesn't end well for them. | |

Mob Boss Carmine Falcone does this in Batman Begins. After getting beaten up by Batman and found at the scene of a crime by police, he's facing serious jail time for the first time, despite usually being untouchable by the law. So while in jail he cuts his wrists in a fake suicide attempt, so that he will be taken to Arkham and can go for the insanity defense. He believes he can blackmail the head shrink, Dr. Crane, into backing him up. Unfortunately, Crane has concocted something that creates pure terror, and a dose of this leaves Falcone insane for real. | |

Another patient retorts that he is Europe's greatest detective... Hercule Poirot. It doesn't help that the news has mistakenly reported that Clouseau has been assassinated. | |

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Sheogorath's realm, The Shivering Isles (sometimes called Madhouse), is basically a gigantic free-roam asylum and all of its residents are self-functioning inmates with at least some quirky mental disorder (even it's relatively mild or even slightly beneficial; creativity is one of Sheogorath's spheres, after all). One person though, a beggar named Uungor, believes that he's sane and that he's there by mistake. The thing is that he's so obsessed with escaping the Isles and proving/retaining his sanity that he's convinced that everyone is an agent of Sheogorath's trying to break him, and that anything that happens to him is part of a trick to make him lose his mind, proving that he really isn't right in the head. | |

Happened in King of the Hill to Boomhauer. He fell asleep while intertubing and wound up in Austin. What happened was that he went around, in a speedo, covered in algae, while talking. He winds in a Mental Hospital for a Psych Hold. He calls Dale to bust him out, but Dale being ...Dale sneaks into the mental hospital to break him out. Problem is that now he can't get back out and the orderlies won't believe him. So they call Bill to get them out... Who then realizes he has a lot of issues and checks himself in for help. They then call Hank who, not being an idiot, talks with the staff, explains the situation, then tells them that 1) Boonhauer's Psych Hold period has elapsed so he's free to go 2) Dale was never supposed to be there in the first place and 3) Bill voluntarily checked himself in so he's free to leave whenever he feels he's ready... except that his insurance won't cover his stay. | |

An episode of Colditz involved one of the POWs pretending to be mad in order to be invalided out. Perhaps not surprisingly, after keeping up the pretense for months he really does go mad. This was an adaptation of a genuine Colditz escape. Unlike the fictional version, the officer that tried it both succeeded in getting sent home and was still relatively sane when he was. | |

In Second Sight, the protagonist (and the Love Interest) is drugged to make them appear insane and locked away to keep them from revealing a conspiracy (as they have Psychic Powers). Luckily they get better after the drugs have worn off. Unlike many uses of this trope, at least one psychiatrist seems angry with the way the protagonist is treated (albeit because the drug used is experimental having been tested on monkeys, rather than actually believing that they're really sane) and can be heard complaining to the orderlies about it. | |

Bird: One of the running themes is that most of the patients are not actually insane. Sveta being a chief example. However, all of them are dangerous, and many do have psychological problems they are dealing with. Being locked up in an asylum with the actual crazy ones does not do any favors for the ones that are sane, however. | |

In Philippa Gregory's The Boleyn Inheritance, Jane Boleyn pretends to be mad to escape being executed for treason. Later chapters suggest that she, already self-deluded, has finally gone over the edge. To no avail, sadly, as the King has changed the law to accommodate her death. | |

Good Guys Wear Black (1978). Chuck Norris' character tries to force a corrupt politician to resign, but the politician reveals that their only witness (his aide) is incommunicado in the psychiatric ward after 'going insane'. So Chuck makes the politician disappear permanently, and a news report (arranged by his CIA friend) states that the politician has resigned and will be replaced by the aide once he gets out of the hospital where he's having a 'routine medical checkup'. | |

Smallville: In the episode "Asylum", Lionel Luthor doses his son Lex with psychotropic drugs then commits him to a mental hospital, ordering Lex's memory erased via electroshock therapy, to stop Lex from investigating Lionel's shady dealings. While investigating Lex's sudden strange behaviour, Clark Kent is forced to reveal his powers right in front of Lex to save Lex's life, then flees to avoid detection, leaving behind Lex who insists he saw Clark stop a car with his own hands, seemingly further "proof" of his insanity. Lex is finally released once the electrotherapy has erased all his memories of what he had witnessed and he is no longer claiming Clark has superpowers. A later episode has a Phantom Zone prisoner trying to take over Clark's body by trapping Clark in a mental simulation where everything that has happened in his life up to this point is actually a series of hallucinations that has led to him being committed over the delusional belief that he's an invincible alien. |

One episode of the would-be-a-cult-show-if-people-remembered-it series God, the Devil and Bob, Bob is arrested while painting over a billboard; at first the arresting officer ignores Bob's claim of "God told me to," but then the Devil starts an argument with Bob in the back of the squad car and gets Bob committed. One of the most touching moments on the show was when God came to visit Bob and all the other inmates could see him too: "The innocents of the world usually can." | |

In between BioShock and BioShock 2 during the "Something in The Sea" advertising campaign, Mark Meltzer calls Detective Benny Stango and tells him he's going to kill himself. Benny, who up to this point has blamed Mark for his daughter's disappearance and vowed to bring him to justice, freaks out and tells Mark to calm down as he goes to protect Mark from himself. However, the mental breakdown was a trick to get into Tollevue Hospital, where he could talk to Orrin Oscar Lutwidge, a man who knew information that Mark needed about Rapture. Benny was pissed when he figured out that Mark faked it. | |

Twelfth Night: Poor, poor Malvolio. Because he's a dark-clad, self-possessed puritan who frowns upon drinking and music, the woman he works for naturally thinks he's gone insane when he shows up wearing bright yellow stockings and obnoxiously flirting with her. Actually, he received a fake love letter that told him she'd love him better if he did these things. The servants who were in on the plot promptly chain him up in a dark room (the standard treatment for madmen back in the day) and mess with his mind by sending "the curate" (actually a Court Jester in disguise) to talk nonsense to him in the hopes of making him "sane." By the end of most productions, he's pretty much gone off the deep end. | |

The DLC story for Outlast, entitled "The Whistleblower'', starts off with the player character getting thrown into the Mount Massive Asylum and also volunteered for the Morphogenic Engine Program because he sent an email out to Miles Upshur in order to blow the place wide open. Thankfully all ends well, however, and he's able to escape in the chaos when everything starts going horribly wrong for the asylum's owners. | |

The Equalizer. In "The Last Campaign", a politician's aide who discovers her boss is involved in blackmail is placed in a mental institution after a faked drug overdose. McCall gets a friendly psychiatrist to commit him ("Someone I suspect you have wanted to commit for a very long time.") for 24 hours observation so he can make contact. Another of McCall's friends, also posing as a patient, is placed in there as a bodyguard. Which is necessary as the politician has planted his own man among the staff, giving her doctored injections to drive her permanently crazy (and when this plan fails, arrange a more permanent suicide). | |

The Sims 2 fans created a Self-Imposed Challenge based on this concept, called the Asylum Challenge. The player creates an ill-equipped Bedlam House and fills it with inmates, only one of whom they are allowed to control— the rest run on their infamously inept free will. | |

At least two other Batman stories have used the same idea; in Batman Villains: Secret Files And Origins a man accused of murdering his family is locked in Arkham as an excuse for the story to give us a tour of the place, and Dr. Arkham gets the news that he was innocent just as he goes Ax-Crazy. In Arkham Asylum: Living Hell Warren White, a Corrupt Corporate Executive guilty of stock fraud, makes the mistake of pleading insanity in a Gotham court and is sentenced to Arkham Asylum, where the abuse of his fellow inmates drives him over the edge. | |

In the episode "Asylum", Lionel Luthor doses his son Lex with psychotropic drugs then commits him to a mental hospital, ordering Lex's memory erased via electroshock therapy, to stop Lex from investigating Lionel's shady dealings. While investigating Lex's sudden strange behaviour, Clark Kent is forced to reveal his powers right in front of Lex to save Lex's life, then flees to avoid detection, leaving behind Lex who insists he saw Clark stop a car with his own hands, seemingly further "proof" of his insanity. Lex is finally released once the electrotherapy has erased all his memories of what he had witnessed and he is no longer claiming Clark has superpowers. | |

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street: Johanna is sent to Fogg's Asylum by Judge Turpin when her plan to elope with Anthony to get away from the Dirty Old Man is discovered. The movie doesn't dwell much on Johanna's mental or emotional state, but the stage play has her playing up her rather Ophelia-like state during the asylum sequence. It's also revealed in the climax by Mrs. Lovett that Lucy Barker, after she was raped by Judge Turpin and drank the arsenic to try to kill herself, was sent to Bedlam House (the actual one) instead of the hospital, which, along with the effects of the arsenic, drove the woman quite insane, leaving her as the crazed Beggar Woman. And Mrs. Lovett knew about this all along and didn't tell Sweeney about it until after he had killed her and recognized her just now. Needless to say, Sweeney does not take it well. |

This is part of the premise of Quills, based on the real-life incarceration of the Marquis de Sade in Charenton Asylum. The Marquis' substantial wealth had allowed him to be committed rather than executed and to enjoy a substantial level of material comfort. But once the new administrator takes over and starts depriving the Marquis of his possessions and basically begins torturing him as a form of "therapy", Sade's mental state rapidly deteriorates. | |

British spy Quiller hides (as a self-committed patient) in a mental institution from a hitman who's stalking him in Quiller's Run. He doesn't go crazy, but the atmosphere of the place does put him on edge, so he engages in a reckless gambit — deliberately revealing his location so the hitman will come there, so Quiller can tackle him on territory he knows. | |

Professor Milo from The DCU is supposed to have been committed to Arkham Asylum while under the influence of madness gas, and then failed to convince the wardens he was sane. At least two other Batman stories have used the same idea; in Batman Villains: Secret Files And Origins a man accused of murdering his family is locked in Arkham as an excuse for the story to give us a tour of the place, and Dr. Arkham gets the news that he was innocent just as he goes Ax-Crazy. In Arkham Asylum: Living Hell Warren White, a Corrupt Corporate Executive guilty of stock fraud, makes the mistake of pleading insanity in a Gotham court and is sentenced to Arkham Asylum, where the abuse of his fellow inmates drives him over the edge. Actually, it's a fairly accepted fact that if you aren't crazy going into Arkham, you're sure as hell crazy coming out. Batman has also taken advantage of this. He once put Ra's Al Ghul in Arkham with a prescription for heavy medication to keep him in check. He also did this to a black ops agent who helped frame him (Bruce Wayne) for murder on secret orders from the president. The last time the agent is seen he is ranting that he's not crazy, he's a secret agent who framed Bruce Wayne on confidential orders from the president. The doctors don't believe him. |

Fry in the Futurama episode "Insane in the Mainframe", and the same asylum pops up in "Bender's Game". After a security camera catches him involved with a bank-robbing robot, Fry is committed to "The HAL Institute for Criminally Insane Robots", which as the name suggests is a mental asylum for defective robots, where he has a surprisingly difficult time convincing the psychiatrists that he's sane or even human. The robot therapist tells Fry that because it's an institution for robots, and he's a patient there, then Fry must logically be a robot. He is allowed to leave after he gets cured of his "delusion" of being human. The asylum even has a robotic mad hatter. Played for rather dark laughs. | |

In the uncompleted, web-released Ravenloft supplement Van Richten's Guide To The Mists, the chapter on outlanders (= people from other game-settings) has a scene in which a cleric from an outlander adventuring party pleads for his former comrade-at-arms to help free him from a mental asylum. Unfortunately, her therapy to rid her of her "delusion" that she'd come from another world has apparently worked: she refuses to help him escape and expresses the hope that he'll soon be "cured" like she was. | |

In K-PAX, the main character "prot" claims to be an alien who is able to travel through light rays. Believing him insane, he is handed over to a New York hospital psychiatric ward. During the film, he is revealed to have uncanny skills and knowledge, and also while under hypnotic regression he seems to remember traumatic events that happened to a man named Robert Porter. By the end of the film, prot announces it's time for him to depart from the planet, leaving behind his catatonic body. The film leaves the viewer wondering whether prot really was an alien who took Porter as a human host or whether he really is just an insane man whose catatonia is a result of being forced to confront his delusions. (The novel that the movie is based on has two sequels that confirm his alien origins.) | |

The Doctor in charge, Gabriel, is perfectly willing to accept that the players are "sane", except for Jigsaw, who's currently disguising her aura to appear Endless (and lacks the proper skill to change this.) This doesn't stop him from enforcing a 72-hour hold on the players, though — the only exception is Daisy, who has an advance directive that gives her a bit more leeway. Of course, given the show... | |

The String of Pearls: According to the book's narration, many of the lunatics in Fogg's madhouse were merely eccentric or quirky - or even were perfectly sane but had someone in their life who wanted to be rid of them - before being committed, but the dismal conditions and cruel treament they faced drove them to actual madness. Sweeney Todd has Tobias locked away to prevent him from letting anyone know what he'd witnessed in the barber shop, and by the time Tobias manages to escape and reach safety, he's in a state of intense delirium and emotional shock. | |

In 12 Monkeys, the protagonist (a man from the post-apocalyptic future sent back in time to try to prevent an unprecedented disaster) can't function in modern society and is quickly institutionalized, where his claims of being a time traveler from the future don't really help. He spends much of the rest of the movie more than half convinced that his memories of time travel are just a fantasy. | |

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Frame of Mind", Riker has a role in a play as a character whom this happens to, but then it turns into a Cuckoo Nest as play and reality start mixing, and Riker has to convince himself he's not insane. It turns out Riker is on a mission (which he's preparing for during the course of the play) during which he's captured by aliens who are using a Mind Probe; his fantasy is a coping mechanism so he'll keep his sanity. | |
