  I recently began thinking about what the leading cause of insanity really 
  was for prisoners in Azkaban. Is this purely a side effect of prolonged 
  dementor exposure? Or does it also have something to do with the subtle 
  torture of forcing the prisoners to loose touch with the true passing of 
  time and cross the Eternity Horizon (the point where time looses all 
  meaning, usually seeming to be longer than it really is)?

Even if such methods were once in use I think they would be abolished by now. The Wizarding World seems to be leaning in towards "humane treatment" ideals, which isn't surprising after what people had to go through with Voldemort. So I think it's purely Dementor Exposure, really, people being social animals don't need much more than isolation to go insane. And when it's isolation coupled with complete absense of any happy thoughts it really doesn't need any enhancers.
