Due to the general content, it's implied many animals are abandoned. One dog is shown trapped in a cage without any ability to get out and no owners to free it.

A character cuts themself to stay awake, and the cuts are seen being made. The visual is very similar to more traditional self harm and can be triggering.

Not sure if this counts but in episode 3 (19:40-20:05) someone cuts open a skull with a rotary cutter (making an awful sound) and then pulls the bone away from the brain, making a gross noise.

A character with mental illness is violent towards himself, and at one point thinks he might have been violent towards another. Also, as sleep deprivation takes its toll, characters begin to act more angry and erratic, including those with mental illnesses.
