When someone deliberately makes themselves out to be insane, see Obfuscating Insanity. See also No More for Me when someone thinks they are hallucinating (though due to alcohol rather than insanity). Can overlap with Mistaken for Murderer or Mistaken for Terrorist if people think another person is Ax-Crazy.
They might also scream " You Have to Believe Me!", which unfortunately often makes things worse for them.Ĭompare Mistaken for Junkie. They, or another character, might have to spend the plot of the story proving they're not insane, sometimes with the risk of drastic things happening if they fail. They might just be laughed at and not believed. If they're elderly, they might be sent to a retirement home (whether a Bleak Abyss Retirement Home or not). They might be sent to an asylum (which is often a Bedlam House), perhaps leading to a Cuckoo Nest plot or Go Among Mad People. Once the character is mistaken for insane, a variety of things could happen.
