Madness and mental hospitals are an inextricable part of our image of "Lovecraftian" horror, thanks partly to Lovecraft's use of sanity-shaking truths and work in the Gothic tradition of unreliable narrators telling their bizarre stories while confined in institutions and stories in which madness represents a form of the symbolic decay that permeates Gothic literature. The use of a Sanity game mechanic in the Call of Cthulhu (RPG) may well have permanently seated madness and mental hospitals as a central theme of "Lovecraftian" horror.
Trivia: Dementophobia is the fear of madness or going insane; iatrophobia is a fear of doctors; nosocomephobia is a fear of hospitals.
