So nothing major. No one really has a diagnosis or anything but SPOILER there are thought of death and there's a little television spot where they show like a depressed barbie doll with crying and stuff and some illnesses are mentioned but nothing major.

A lot of discussion that occurs between 2 main characters heavily implies a lot of dissociative symptoms. The general tone of the movie is incredibly depressing, and one of the protagonists is heavily implied to experience depression

Louis' brother has some kind of mental illness, probably schizophrenia, but hard to say since he lived in the 1910s. In season 2 Daniel asks Louis if he's schizophrenic (because he's had very vivid hallucinations) and Louis answers no after a small pause. It is left ambiguous if he's schizophrenic but he's at least mentally unwell.
