Around the time stamp 00:09:55, there are two dogs fighting each other, but they're only on screen for a little while and the rest is just intense growling

A mother tells her daughter’s doctor that something unexplained happened and he told her that it wasn’t the problem, that it was a hallucination.

Yes and no. She's possessed and to keep her from hurting herself or others, she's tied to a bed. It's not abuse per se... as her family is trying to protect her, but some might feel it to be.

Regan does beat the snot out of her mom, but it's just the demon and not really her.

The demon stabs Regan (looks like Regan stabs herself) in the genitals with a crucifix.

At least twice in the movie there are “subliminal images” of a demon that pop up for a millisecond or though. Debatable whether they’re jumpscares, but I say they are. Made me jump. There may be more jumpscares though, I didn’t finish the movie.

There is a prolonged scene of Regan undergoing a procedure that requires a needle to be inserted into her throat while she is conscious and clearly distressed, and this is supposed to be suspenseful to the viewer as we wonder if she will have another possession attack.

A young girl is put through two medical procedures: Carotid angiography, and pneumoencepholography. The former was performed by actual medical staff and the procedure was carried out in real-time.

A character is incredibly violent due to possession, but this is initially attributed to a mental or neurological illness by family and doctors.

There is mention of the possessed girl possibly having a “split personality”, and the demonic possession is sometimes referred to as “her personalities”

No body dysmorphia, that’s a self image disorder. There is body horror but 0 body dysmorphia.

Minor spoiler
No BDSM but the demon does sexually torture the child it is possessing in one scene and force her to sexually torture her mother. None of this is consensual BDSM obviously, but if someone is triggered by BDSM, this scene will be triggering.
