Victorian Sensation Fiction is a small genre of novels that highlight the issues of institutionalization in mental health treatment centers. Common features in such novels are large and secluded buildings, patients who are wrongfully committed, mistreatment by staff, and general misunderstanding and fear of mental health issues. Neo-Victorian Fiction is another genre that covers the same issues. Last, biographies are another genre that address non-fictional stories of people committed to mental health facilities.
