The main storyline initially focuses on Rebecca running into a man she briefly dated in high school, dropping everything, and moving across the country to pursue him. As she attends therapy, she realizes she needs to own up to this and offers a sincere apology. There is also a subplot where Rebecca is stalked by a former college classmate.

Alluded to in the song “Nothing Is Every Anyone’s Fault” but it’s not clear if it’s actually true and even then the song is clearly making fun of the flimsy excuses some people to justify bad behavior

"In one episode, a character discusses how she had a sexual relationship with her teacher when she was in high school.
It was apparently consensual and the character claims it was no big deal, but another character is highly disturbed by this, pointing out that it was statutory rape and asking if the teacher was ever fired." from Unconsenting Media

[MAJOR SPOILER] It is revealed in a flashback that a character who committed a serious crime was ordered to receive treatment at a psychiatric institution in lieu of a prison sentence (S2E13). Another scene involves an individual's hospitalization (presumably in a psychiatric ward) after a suicide attempt (S3E6). This individual later begins outpatient treatment with a staff psychiatrist.

Verbally violent— it’s called splitting and the main character attacks her friends verbally in a rage/response to emotional distress.
She also threatens her boss with a pen, chases and tackles him (but it’s not violent-violent).

Season 2 episode 13 (season finale)

It is revealed that Rebecca previously had a relationship with her married law professor.

We don't know exactly how old each character was but at the start of the series Rebecca is 26 and we can assume the age gap between her and her professor was significant.

Season 3 episode 4

Rebecca and Marco (Greg's dad) sleep together.

There is sexual content that isn't too graphic. Some I remember:
S1, E17: During the song "oh my god, I think I like you" there are sex scenes.
S2, E1: mentioned but not graphic
S3, E2: the song "strip away my conscious" shows a character undressing themselves to trade sex for getting revenge (doesn't happen)

No, but the main characters relationship with her father is often directly compared to her romantic relationship with men.
In the song: "Maybe she's not such a heinous bitch after all" there's a line that goes:
" I know it sounds like I'm falling in love.
Well when we're findin' a mate, it's our parents we're thinkin' of".
There is also a song in the first season that is called "I love my daughter (but not in a creepy way)" where a father is afraid of his affection appearing as such.

No, but there is a short sentence doing the song "Makey Makeover" where the protagonist sings "I had a stroke" several times.

Rebecca gets diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

Note:
Not technically an illness but has definitely had a chronic impact on her life.
With the right treatment BPD can improve to the point that some patients almost completely eliminated however it is not considered to be "curable".
Treatment for BPD can be extremely successful and have a massive positive impact on peoples lives however it takes a lot of hard work and effort.
