In many works, a character can end up being Not Himself. They could even hurt someone, or admit to someone that they are worried that they might hurt someone. Sometimes, they're just acting oddly enough to give people reason to think that they're crazy and/or dangerous to themselves and others. Often, their freedom is taken away by their own friends or allies to keep them safe and unable to harm themselves or other people. This could be by restraint, sedation, or confinement. This will often happen in a safe location, such as their base or a hospital (or whatever serves as one), and will often result in some fight between the captive and the captor(s). This can result in Breaking the Bonds, or if they gain superpowers it could become a Cardboard Prison. Those keeping them captive may employ some sort of Kryptonite Factor to keep them under control. This could also result in an Unwanted Rescue. If they ask to be restrained, it can overlap with No Matter How Much I Beg. The character being confined does not need to be willing, and the characters to whom they lose their freedom don't need to be benevolent. However, their confinement has to be for safety, and not for malice or punishment, in order to actually fit this trope. Subtrope of Cruel to Be Kind. See Percussive Prevention for a more extreme version of this trope. |

A similar situation happens in the Achille Talon album Viva Papa! To escape from a prison cell while tied up, Talon has sidekick Lefuneste gnaws on their bonds. Except, as they find out, the rope is made of Tapasambalian hemp, a dangerous psychotropic plant. Thus Lefuneste has to be kept tied during the escape. Later, the bad guys capture them again and, seeing one of them still in ropes, conclude that he's no longer their friend and have him freed — and Lefuneste goes berserk on them. | |

The Invisible Man Returns (1940) has Geoffrey Radcliffe (Vincent Price) ask a friend and lab colleague to restrain him if he shows signs of insanity (a known side effect of the invisibility formula). After a tense dinner scene with said friend and his love interest, Radcliffe is subdued and chained to a chair and does indeed attack the friend. | |

Angel: In "Somnambulist", Angel fears he may be committing vampire murders while sleepwalking, so has Wesley and Cordelia tie him up while he's asleep. That night there's another murder, proving Angel didn't do it, but by then Angel has worked out that it's a vampire he sired while he was Angelus. Played for laughs in "Eternity" when his evil Angelus persona resurfaces. At the end of the episode, Angel wakes up Chained to a Bed by Wesley and Cordelia, who inform Angel they don't hold anything Angelus said or did against him. They are in fact willing to move on. And they do...by walking off and leaving him there. The werewolf Nina comes to Wolfram & Hart monthly to be locked up. Given that she dresses up nicely to do so, Wesley suggests to Angel that she might have another reason. |

In The Shining by Stephen King, Jack Torrance starts going violently insane to the point where his wife Wendy has started carrying a knife around in the event that she has to use it on Jack in self-defense. When she manages to get him unconscious after he tries to hurt her, she locks him in the pantry of the Overlook to protect herself and their son Danny and so that he won't starve in the time it takes for help to arrive. He does manage to escape, though. | |

In GHOST Squad, several segments have you detaining hostages with handcuffs, something that civilians often associate with arresting a criminal suspect. But you don't want panicked civilians ("I'm not a terrorist!") just running around potentially disrupting a precision anti-terrorist operation (even if they don't mean to do so), and some of those civilians could actually be enemies in disguise, which is why you have to detain them. | |

Supernatural: Bobby and Dean lock Sam in Bobby's panic room to keep him away from the demon blood so he can "detox". Castiel, Bobby, and Sam later lock Dean in there to stop him getting to Michael. Castiel of all people gets these in season 11, when he's under Rowena's curse and can only partially control his outbreaks of violence. Sam and Dean set him up with some fairly long chains inscribed with anti-angel sigils attached to a ring on the floor, so he can at least move around a little and help them research during his periods of lucidity. |

Paige in the Whateley Universe is a new Were-cat who can't control herself when she changes, and can't even control her changes (it can happen anytime, not just on full moons), so she has a nice room to herself in the basement of Hawthorne Cottage, only she is locked in most of the day. She does have Internet access, which is a rather important consideration given that she is the only known cyberpath in the world. | |

The Order of the Stick: Roy has to bind and gag Durkon in the Wooden Forest to keep him from freaking out about trees and alerting the bandits. The team also keeps Belkar bound and gagged after Nale uses a Charm Person on him... and for an extra few hours in the morning after the spell wears off since the halfling is better company this way. An odd preemptive example: when laying an ambush for the Linear Guild, one of the elements is Durkon's Holy Word, a spell that deafens (and paralyzes, if they aren't strong enough) Evil creatures nearby, and banishes outsiders. Naturally this includes Belkar — but this just serves to make him immune to Nale's Suggestion, which he would have to hear to be affected by. |

On full moon nights, Werewolf by Night is regularly tied down or locked up by family (his sister Lissa), friends (Buck or Morbius) allies (Moon Knight), or even people he's just met but feels he can trust (Bruce Banner). Often it's to little avail as the werewolf is strong enough to break out. Morbius eventually prescribes him drugs that knock him out cold. | |

In the Teen Titans (2003) episode "Haunted", the team start to think Robin is insane when he continuously claims to see his arch-enemy Slade when they can't. He threatens to hurt them if they get in the way of his hunt for Slade, so they knock them out and strap him down until they can find out what's wrong with him. As it turns out he'd inhaled a drug that affected his nervous system, meaning only he could see Slade and his body reacted to Slade's attacks as if they were real. | |

Being Human: In early episodes, Mitchell does this for George, the resident werewolf. Later, George finds ways to get the job done on his own. In a flashback, Mitchel's vampire sponsor ties him to a chair during his blood-detox. |

Tom gets tied up in many All Assorted Animorphs AUs chapters in order to get him to the Hork-Bajir valley without his Yeerk escaping with his body. Eva also ties Marco to a chair in "What if the yeerks all suddenly died?" (because she thinks he's a controller) and "What if they were all from different AUs á la Into the Spider-Verse?" (because he is a controller). | |

Happens twice to Batman in Batman: The Animated Series, both as a result of the Scarecrow's toxins. The first time Bruce inhales a fear-inducing hallucinogen and is confined in Arkham Asylum while suffering various paranoid delusions, unable to convince his caretakers that the Scarecrow's plan is actually real. The second time, a fear-eliminating toxin turns him into a psychopath, and Robin ties him up against his will to protect his enemies. Briefly shown in an issue of the tie-in comic as part of standard treatment for hysterical victims of Jokerization. | |

Animorphs The team has to tie up Jake when he's accidentally infested, to starve out the Yeerk in his head, and they have to constantly watch him on top of it because they know the Yeerk will try to morph to free him from the restraints. They know for sure the Yeerk's in his head when he refuses to wait out the three days, which he would have done normally (it's not a question of trust, Yeerks being Puppeteer Parasites), also when he calls Ax "Andalite filth". Jake returns the favor to Marco later, preventing Marco from doing anything as Visser One using Marco's mother as a host, falls to her Disney Death by holding him down while in tiger morph. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "The Return of Harmony, Part 2", Twilight Sparkle has to find her friends and cast a spell to make them themselves again. Once she finds them, they have to be tied up in order for her to cast the spell because they won't stay still. It happens again in "Hearts and Hooves Day", where the Cutie Mark Crusaders brew up a love potion in order to get Cheerilee and Big Macintosh together: it backfires dramatically as the two become obsessed with one another, and the only cure is to keep them apart for a whole hour. Sweetie Belle manages to barricade Cheerilee in the dressing room while she picks out her wedding dress; keeping Big Macintosh at bay, however, takes a bit more effort (and a hastily-dug pit trap). Angel Bunny ties up Fluttershy, probably at her own specific request, and certainly with her consent in "Putting Your Hoof Down" when Fluttershy believes that she is a danger to society. |

Forever: This is clearly what Nora intended for Henry when she had him taken to the asylum. He had been about to slit his own wrist and kill himself, and Nora honestly believed he was insane and needed to be saved from himself. Her focus was always on keeping him from hurting himself until he could get better and return to her. | |

The Chronicles of Narnia novel The Silver Chair. The Green Lady's protege asks the protagonists to tie him to the title device and not let him go No Matter How Much I Beg, so that he won't change into a green serpent and kill them. Actually a subversion since he has not yet been revealed to be Prince Rilian and the real reason he is being kept in the Silver Chair is because, rather than being in danger of turning into a snake and killing everyone, those nightly spells are the only times he realizes that he is Prince Rilian and the Green Lady wants to ensure that he doesn't escape from her while he still knows who he is. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Oz is confined on full moons. At first in a cage locked with a key, later however in a cage locked with a combination keypad which he can only operate when he is human. In the episode "Living Conditions" Buffy starts rooming with a new girl her own age, then starts to get annoyed about those kinds of little things that roomies do to annoy each other. Then she starts to get delusional and claims that the girl is 'evil', and that she's going to have to 'slay' her, which prompts the rest of the Scoobies to tie her up to stop her while trying to find out why she's suddenly gone crazy. The restraints are less than effective at holding her, though Buffy is proven right. Buffy chains Angel up to keep him from hurting himself or attacking others after his return from hell when he's still feral and wild. In Season 7 she does the same to Spike. |

In Firefly, after one of River's bouts of madness (where she attacks Jayne with a knife) Mal has her confined to her quarters and only allowed out if accompanied by himself or Simon. Unlike most cases, River seems to willingly accept this limitation, as while confined to her room there's no lock or other restraint used. Later in Serenity, after a much more destructive round of violence, River is chained up in a locked storeroom, but subsequent events show that she only remained restrained because she knew the rest of the crew were terrified of her and could escape at any time. | |

As well as providing therapy, the facility also has a policy against "sharps," which they call anything that can be used for Self-Harm. This even extends to pencils and glass. However, Callie does find ways to engage in Self-Harm despite this... | |
