After Bronson talks about being at a "funny farm" there is a graphic scene of someone soiling themselves. It ends once you hear a door open and the bedroom area is shown.

Bronson's also fights someone as a part of his first fight and urinates on them after winning.

A portion of the movie takes place in a mental institution. However it doesn't look like a hospital. But the patients wear white hospital outfis and many distressed patients are seen throughout this portion.

It's arguable that Bronson's fighting is a form of self harm.

When the librarian and teacher are (separately) taken hostage they effectively portray the anxiety and fear of being in that situation.

Bronson is very guarded against male affection. When forcing a librarian to "armor" him up he accuses him of being a "homo" aggressively.

Briefly a swastika is shown drawn in blood during a montage early on the film of different prisons Bronson was in. There is no context.

It's a bit unclear but I think the intent was a joke, when Bronson meets up with his Uncle there are people who could either be crossdressers or trans women and they are introduced in what could be a joking way.

Bronson's Uncle places a hand suggestively on his knee and appears to be a sexually open relationship with multiple people. It may be triggering to some how it was implied that Bronson would be sexual with the group of people including his Uncle. Nothing is shown.
