At the very beginning of the game when you are playing as Sarah, there is an implied death of a dog outside of her house. It's barking until you go next to the window, then there is a squeal of pain, and then silence.

Ellie is almost raped by david. Though not explicitly stated as his intentions its very heavily implied. He is on top of her appearing to be starting towards raping her right before she kills him brutally with his machette. He fortunately doesnt manage to get any of her clothes off or ripped but it seems as though he did touch her innappropriately before she got him off her

this is the only time i can think of but, there is a point where a character gets their head held underwater in a drowning attempt but they survive. you cannot skip this
you have to mash buttons to get loose from this attack, however failing this you can see a death scene here

It's optional but at the end of the game, you can brutally murder someone by shooting them with a flamethrower. Thinking about it now you can basically do it to any enemy in the game ( If you have equipped the flamethrower )

"The Infected" are human beings whose bodies have been taken over by a variation of the Cordyceps Fungus. While it is unclear if they are still self aware or not, one character expresses his concerns that the person they used to be is still under there and just unable to control themselves.

The infected are zombie-like creatures consumed by a fungal infection. The length of infection determines how malformed the body becomes. Some appear fairly normal, while others have significant fungal growths protruding from their bodies.

Joel has repressed his PTSD but it is very clearly there and plays a major part in the story.
In the Spring chapter of the game Ellie is distant after the ordeal with David, could possibly be considered PTSD?
