Injection and the prep work for a blood draw are not shown. A needle and vial of blood are visible from about 3 ft/1 meter away for a few seconds after blood is drawn with the nurse in the police station. Parents discuss that their son is afraid of/doesn't do well needles. The boy winces in pain, but his reaction is brief.

Jamie definitely has behavioral problems, but being verbally aggressive is not strictly indicative of a mental disorder.
Being just 13 years old, it's still quite early to say for sure, but he could meet the criteria for a personality disorder in a few years. To blame what he did on some undiagnosed mental disorder however, is misguided.
It's also made pretty clear that his motivations were a reaction to bullying, coupled with a sense of entitlement.

Each episode is done in a single shot, meaning the camera has to follow the actors closely, and sometimes is in tight spots with the camera very close to the actors. There's no claustrophobia depicted, but as a viewer it might feel a little squeezy.

Yes, but not bad. Even though it's almost entirely handheld camera work and the camera closely follows active movement, it's fairly steady. Not dizzying for me.

No slurs.
When a child psychologist asks Jamie, the boy who is institutionalized while awaiting trial, about his attraction, he replies negatively. Jamie finds at the idea of being gay gross/weird.

Nudity is discussed, but not shown.
The boy, Jamie, is asked by 2 male police officers to remove his clothing to check for any scratches or bruises after his DNA is collected. Jamie's dad observes this interaction after asking the police if a strip search is necessary.

Hardly any blood at all. No gore. This show isn't about murder, it's about the fallout and emotional traumas that occur after.
