Try "Frances" from 1982, with Jessica Lange playing Frances Farmer.
And "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" with Kathleen Quinlan.
Both are very good movies with outstanding performances.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It doesn't turn into a horror film, but it's the exact content of what you're looking for.
and Girl, Interrupted.

"A Beautiful Mind" with Russel Crowe - based on a true story of a highly acclaimed mathematics professor who is a paranoid-schizophrenic. And, "Leaving Las Vegas" with Nicholas Cage who is an alcoholic who moves to Las Vegas with the intention of drinking himself to death.

Requiem for a dream
or
Magnolia
Tom Cruise is in Magnolia, but don't be put off by that. That is the only movie he has done, that isn't lame.
