'''Basic Trope''': A mental hospital with old-fashioned and horrifying methods of treatment.
* '''Straight''': Alice and Bob get committed to Tropeville Mental Hospital, where they're frequently [[ElectroconvulsiveTherapyIsTorture tortured with ECT]], among many other terrifying ways of being treated.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** The mental institution will even [[{{Lobotomy}} lobotomize]] or outright kill patients [[DisproportionateRetribution over the slightest inconvenience]].
** The hospital is in such bad shape that even the infrastructure is falling apart.
* '''Downplayed''': Tropeville Mental Hospital has a few outdated methods of treatment, although they could easily be a case of what was FairForItsDay.
* '''Justified''':
** The story takes place in the 18th or 19th century, where [[TruthInTelevision mental hospitals were actually like this]].
** Tropeville Mental Hospital has been around for a long period of time and hasn't really bothered to update any of their treatment methods.
** Tropeville Mental Hospital is run by people who don't actually care about or understand mental illness.
* '''Inverted''': Tropeville Mental Hospital is actually extremely pleasant, and does a wonderful job at getting Alice and Bob to get over their mental health problems.
* '''Subverted''':
** Tropeville Mental Hospital is one of these facilities at first, but after it becomes known how they treat their patients, they reform and become an actual place for treating mental health.
** Alice and Bob hear that they're being sent to an asylum. They're scared at first, but when they get there, it's a lot better than they expect.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** Tropeville Mental Hospital ''does'' reform... but not by very much. They still treat patients rather badly.
** Alice and Bob find the hospital better than expected, until they upset the PsychoPsychologist and/or BattleaxeNurse and find out just how terrible the hospital really is.
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''':
** Mental hospitals are not mentioned.
** A mental hospital does appear, but it's clean, modern, and dedicated to truly helping patients.
* '''Enforced''': The writers are trying to make a point about the negative ways that mental health facilities often treat their patients.
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': Once authorities find out what's going on at the Tropeville Mental Hospital, they shut the place down or demand better treatment options.
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': "If a character gets sent to a mental hospital in fiction, it's almost never a nice place."
