There is a moment in the second Heroes of Olympus series that gives Percy a fear of suffocation involving the earth. Can't remember specifics. The main villain is the goddess of the earth, who can move the earth, but apart from that one time I don't think anybody is straight up buried.

Not scary ones, just sort of sad and milling about aimlessly. Either that or people who are technically "dead" but act as if alive (e.g. Tantalus)

Not a 'hospital' with machines and white lab coats and prescription medication, more like a hut with beds and bandages.

No, but many of the characters (including Percy) were bullied for having ADHD and dyslexia. This would likely hit very close to home for neurodivergent readers.

nico di angelo is described as being “malnourished” and “emaciated”. in heroes of olympus, it’s mentioned that he doesn’t eat much. in the sun and the star, he outright admits he has an eating disorder however it was caused by homelessness (he is “used to being hungry”) and has nothing to do with body image

there is no scene in which a character is considering harming themselves because of mental illness, characters sacrifice themselves, yes, but i would not call it suicide. it does not have the same triggering effect as suicide. they do not feel helpless and alone, they do not self harm. they sacrifice themselves as part of the greater good for the war and they have a support system and they know they are loved.

Yes. Almost all the main characters have ADHD and dyslexia, and many were bullied for it at some point or another. The r-word is used in the second book.

One character who uses crutches was called cr//p/ed in the first book.

Someone here said they came out by the end of the first series, but it was actually the second series (they weren't revealed to be LGBT yet in the first series). Regardless, they make it out alive in both the first and second series, and seem to be shown to have reached a happy ending in the third series

As it's centered on Greek Mythology, a lot of the gods are in relationships with their "relatives", though the story directly states that the gods have no DNA and therefore cannot be related to one another (and their children can't be related to one another, either).
