I think the mental hospital/delusional one can be done well but more often it's not. Like, the BTVS episode only works because it goes against 6 years of established canon.
Woman on the Edge of Time is one of my favourite books, but it established the mental illness/mental hospital pretty early on, so it's not really a twist.
