While not domestic, the fight between Amanda and Eric Matthews is extremely brutal and might be triggering for those who have witnessed or been a victim of domestic violence. (The scene in question starts at the 1:32:55 mark and ends at the 1:37:14 mark)

No illegal drug use. However, there is legal prescription antidepressant use, but it is portrayed/edited like an "addiction". Could be triggering for some similarities to prescription drug addiction.

So, so much. Spoilers ahead!
The first scene is a man breaking the bones in his foot and snapping his own ankle to free himself from shackles.
The first trap is a man with metal rings through his body, including both Achilles tendons. Which he has to rip the rings through to escape.
The Rack trap shows limbs being twisted, including ankles. So many compound fractures.
At the end of the movie, you see a flashback to the very first scene - the man is shown walking on his snapped ankle. It also gets kicked.

Amanda young, one of John’s apprentices, is VERY heavily coded to have borderline personality disorder. After she was traumatized by being put through a trap, John essentially manipulated her into becoming dependent on him, making her his apprentice. In this movie, she attacks multiple people and even eventually kills someone while breaking down, because she’s afraid John is going to abandon her. Can be very triggering to see Amanda as a villain if you have bpd.

Jeff completes the game alive, but everyone else involved, including his wife who was revealed to be the doctor forced to help John, die. Before Jigsaw dies, he gives Jeff a tape informing him that his daughter has been kidnapped and he needs to go through another game to save her. The movie ends with this revelation.
