Over two weeks, she underwent a myriad of psychological tests, participated in numerous therapy sessions, connected with fellow patients, and experienced profound breakthroughs, such as when a doctor noted, \"There is a you \u003ci\u003einside\u003c\/i\u003e that feels invisible to those looking at you from the outside.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eMen Have Called Her Crazy\u003c\/i\u003e, Tendler recounts her hospital experience as well as pivotal moments in her life that preceded and followed.
