Yes, if you count Lars's yelling at Bianca being commented upon in a comedic timing; although, the character does have a serious talk with Lars about his behavior.

Lars is never officially diagnosed with any mental illnesses but he experiences delusions and is played by Ryan gosling who (as far as I know) does not. It didn't bother me, I just want to be transparent.

Lars is never explicitly said to have autism but he has traits typically associated with autism. Regardless of the fact that we can't say he cannonically has it, I don't think it's a poor depiction of autism if he did.

Lars has a mild anxiety attack in the doctor's office. Hyperventilating and pacing but she has him calm down.

At the end he finds bianca "unconscious" and shakes her yelling "wake up". I don't think that's officially a meltdown but it is a big outburst of emotion with yelling and tears

Just for a moment at the end, Lars is seen from a distance walking into a pond with Bianca and splashing around and its implied that she "died" (she's just a doll). There are no camera shots underwater but the characters do go underwater for a second.

Bianca the doll is said to be terminally ill at the very end and dies shortly after. She was never really alive though, so that's a complicated question.
