This trope happens when a character is perfectly sane... yet one or more others don't believe them. Perhaps they're making wild, yet true, claims (maybe involving seeing something or someone Invisible to Normals or a conspiracy or similar that's No Mere Windmill) perhaps to the point of being The Cassandra, maybe they're eccentric but still have a perfectly stable mind, maybe they communicated badly, or the other person has Arbitrary Skepticism, or something was Not What It Looks Like, or maybe they were violent, causing an assumption of Ax-Crazy or Insane Equals Violent.
