I encounter it rather frequently. Usually it's peripheral, but at times it's totally central to the story, such as in Shock (1946), Lilith (1964), Possessed (1947), Shock Corridor (1963), and so on. Just recently I've noticed it in a couple of silent films: Stroheim's Foolish Wives (1922), where one of the characters is a mentally disabled young woman who gets preyed upon by the protagonist, and Sappho (a.k.a. Mad Love, 1921) where a young man has been driven totally insane over his love for the title character, played by Pola Negri.

 Pressure Point (1962) "A black prison psychiatrist is assigned the distasteful task of helping a paranoid American Nazi charged with sedition." |

Captain Newman, M.D. (1963), with Gregory Peck and Tony Curtis, about an Army doctor (Peck) in charge of a neuropsychiatric ward during the latter part of WWII at an Army Air Corps military hospital in Arizona, with a bit of a screwy orderly (Curtis) providing comic relief. Part drama, part comedy. A pretty strange movie, IMHO.

The Tower of Lies 1925, After his beloved daughter leaves for the city to pay off his debt, an old farmer goes mad when her letters become less frequent and it is suspected she may be using her body to get the money. Starring Lon Chaney and directed by Victor Sjöström.  Though that version is considered lost, in a later Swedish version Sjöström himself played the lead as the father gone mad in 1944.
