Does someone have a chronic illness?
Seeing a character who has a chronic illness can be very triggering for people who live with these illnesses and their families. This is often because the way the illness is portrayed in the film is inaccurate.

Yes, one character have epilepsy. Im gonna spoil a bit of the movie here, but I'll do my best to keep it as small as possible.
There was this part where the characters went to somewhere and one of them said "eclipse is the best time to be here". Shortly after that, the movie cuts to a part where a character was shown to be talking to what looks like her mother, and they hugged. After the hugging scene, the next 15 mins said character had a seizure. Avoid that part if such thing triggers you.
Thats the only part that features it, so you can rest assure that you won't see it again for the rest of the movie

Herb Kazazz has cancer. Bojack's mom is shown as generally ill when she got old. Diane struggles with depression throughout multiple seasons. There might be more but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.

debatable. harlan's medication in the film is said to be for his shoulder injury and to help him sleep.
But, Harlan is given said meds through a PICC which would imply a longer-term illness. This is never discussed or brought up in the film however.

The old man in the movie frequently mentions not being able to do things he wants because of how it might affect his heart. There's no specification of illness, it's really just hinted at and probably due to old age. Up for interpretation.

Pearls father has an unspecified illness which makes him unable to walk and speak. He’s taken care of by his daughter and wife troughout the movie. If this triggers you i suggest skipping the movie because he plays a pretty major role.
