* Much of the plot of [[Tron]]: Ghost in the Machine runs on this trope. The story opens with the [[Tron 2.0|protagonist of the game]] being so paralyzed by what he saw inside the computer system that he went from being an avid programmer to being a shut-in afraid to touch electronics. From there, the whole comic spirals into a genuine [[Mind Screw]].
* In the ''[[Tintin]]'' book ''[[The Shooting Star]]'', scientist Philippulus goes mad from the news that an asteroid is about to destroy Earth, and starts calling himself "Philippulus the prophet" while [[The End Is Nigh|rambling about divine punishment]].
* Happens in [[Power Pack]] when the kids' parents learn firsthand that the kids have superpowers, as the aliens species that gave the kids their powers ''brainwashed them without the kids knowledge or consent'' (that the majority of this species was secretly dicks had been foreshadowed their last appearance) into accepting any explanation for events that wasn't "their children have super powers" and their minds couldn't reconcile the clear facts with the brainwashing. They're ultimatelytemporarily saved by being led to believe that the superpowered kids were fakes switched for their real kids, though it takes till the end of the series for the brainwashing to be removed.
