In season 7 episode 10, it shows Bobby’s early family life. His father abused him and his mother emotionally and physically.
There are themes of domestic violence throughout the show. ( A kid literally whipping herself through emotional manipulation, multiple spouses killing eachother (though one is usually a monster) etc.

There is one episode with a non-graphic birth scene that includes a woman who was possessed by a demon and raped. The rape is not depicted. Angel and demon characters sometimes have sex, and they are presumed to be possessing living humans who aren't asked consent to the act.

In season 7, there’s extremely strong alluding to Sam being raped/sexually assaulted by Lucifer when he was in the cage. He’s also plagued with ptsd and hallucinations of Lucifer which constantly make him feel unsafe, and cause him to be unable to eat and sleep

throughout all seasons of the show there are scenes of characters cutting their palms or firearms for rituals, spells, ad sigils. The cuts are not often shown explicitly on camera and I the later season are healed quickly by Castiel.
There are a few scenes of Castiel with larger cuts. One scene shows a sigil cut into his chest, and another shows a message carved into his chest by another character.
Almost every character ends up with a cut at some point, most often from violence from a monster or another character.

Not sure why so many “No”, as there are very clearly multiple times this happens of characters, all men, getting kicked in the groin. Especially in season 2, 4, worst of all season 5, and season 10. The Japanese gameshow that the other person mentioned had a giant metal rod smash into Sam’s groin for “humor” in season 5, although it can be very distressing.

Typically sticks to suggestive sprays of blood, shots of bodies that don't peer into injuries, blood on clothing. Most injuries are streaks of red on bodies with a few exceptions for pitted looking burns or magical wounds that don't look like normal gore. Some episodes show severed heads. Individual body parts such as bones or eyeballs. Sometimes graphic sound effects meant to gross the viewer out. Many characters die in horrible ways but the wound itself is off-screen, with sprays of blood and gross sound effects.

The protagonist wakes up in an alternate reality and can't decide if it's real. Sensations from reality like dead bodies randomly appear and cause jumpscares. The characters in the other reality admit they aren't real. The protagonist kills himself hoping his death won't be real and it will bring him back to reality. The audience doesn't know which is reality during the episode or whether suicide will just kill the protagonist.

Dean overdoses and dies momentarily (can’t remember the season). Crowley stabs himself with an angel blade to save the Winchesters (last episode of season 12). Boy shoots himself (season 1). Angel suicide bombers exist in season 9. (all I can think of off the top of my head, may be more x)

•In S5 Famine, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, causes insatiable hunger similar to binge eating. We see this affect a main character [Castiel].
•It is implied that Dean (main character) may have a binge eating disorder from childhood neglect (lack of food while Dad abandoned them on hunting trips). Most non-violent scenes with Dean feature him consuming food of some kind. He has an unhealthy relationships and attachments to food, sometimes putting it above other priorities.

Hitler is briefly risen from the dead, but is quickly killed. None of his ideals are appreciated or adopted by any protagonist characters. There is a Jewish character, Aaron if I remember correctly, but he is not portrayed in an antisemitic way. Crowley, when he was the king of hell, has a portrait of himself in Nazi uniform with an insignia of a pitchfork in place of the swastika. He does not hold antisemitic beliefs or values. Jewish folklore is mentioned several times throughout the show, but never in a derogatory way.

In "Free To Be You And Me" Dean finds out Castiel is a virgin and attempts to get him to have sex despite his visual discomfort in the situation. This scene is played for laughs. There are other cases where Castiel's lack of understanding about sex is laughed at (such as season 6 episode 3, the "pizza man" bit) but it is never directly stated in the show that Castiel is on the asexual spectrum.

While not an illness, a main character makes a deal with a demon in season 3 and only has a year to live until he is killed and taken to hell. Multiple episodes in this series touch upon the fear and grief this character and his loved ones experience while faced with this information, which may be upsetting to watch

The male protagonists actively try to convince one character to have an abortion multiple times. There is focus on the entire season around preventing the birth and catching the mother, who doesn't want to abort. The mother tries to kill herself in desperation but does not succeed. She doesn't want to abort but is being told if she doesn't she'll endanger the world. She dies from the birth.

!SPOILERS!
God is defeated by Jack, who quickly fills the position. Cas is in The Empty (SuperMegaTurbo Hell), and stays there until being briefly mentioned by Bobby in the last scene. Dean dies while fighting "clown-vampires", getting impaled by a large screw sticking out from the wall (OSHA Violation). Sam lives on, without his brother and starts a family, but eventually dies of old age. They are reunited in heaven. Cas and Jack are absent for the finale. Not necessarily sad (more bittersweet), but extremely disappointing for long-time fans.
