Throughout the entire film multiple characters call Catherine delusional or disturbed for trying to speak the truth about what happened. She is placed in a psychiatric institution and even threatened with lobotomy.

Male patients at the asylum grab Catherine and try to attack her. It's a fairly regressive portrayal.
