People in here seem slightly confused. This is the section of the Bird Box book, not the movie. The dog does not appear at all in the movie, but in the book there is a dog that is affected by the creatures and dies.

As stated before, the protagonist is strongly implied to not want any children, yet she ends up having to raise two of them.
Even though she tries to ensure their survival, she is cold towards them, commanding, often yells at them and hasn't given them names. At some point she shakes a 5yo child after she disobeyed an order.
This goes on for pretty much the entire movie, but doesn't go beyond verbal abuse and that one moment where she shakes the girl.

Unclear what the motive behind the phenomena is, but there are many moments where the "creatures" force other characters, including women, to look outside.

There isn’t, however one of the characters seems to imply her family having an unhealthy structure at a few points. It is never specified what’s wrong with it, so I don’t know for sure if part of it is domestic abuse.

No one's stalked but the creatures sort of follow them in some respect. You can't see them though, only when the kids hear voices and when the wind blows wildly.

First, the protagonist and her sister talk about drinking wine while the protagonist is pregnant.
Later on a character is seen drinking in the alcohol aisle of a store. Later on, he is seen bringing alcohol back to the house and drinking, implying that he probably drinks often.
He offers a glass of whiskey to the pregnant protagonist, who accepts and drinks it.

One of the characters is seen trying to swallow a bunch of pills (which are strongly implied to be drugs) but is stopped by another character. There is no further mention of drugs after this scene.

In the first few scenes of the movie, a woman in some sort of hallucinatory state walks and sits into a burning car.
The scene is not extremely explicit and the woman is not heard screaming, nor does she show any pain whatsoever, however there still is a clear shot of her sitting inside of the burning car.

Sort of? A character jumps from a window and something on them catches and holds them in place. A character says that this person is hanging, and then we're told that this person's body hits the side of the wall, buffeted by a breeze. Perhaps needless to say, this person does not survive.

*SPOILERS!!!*
There are no ghosts BUT the voices that the kids and Malorie hear is the *monster thing* trying to make them take their blindfolds off so they would look at it. It can also mimic the look of someone, as seen in the beginning of the movie, where Lydia goes in the street to help pregnant Malorie to get up she starts "talking" to something that looks like her mom, later to find out that her mom has been dead for a while, so we can say that it was the creature trying to get her to commit suicide.

The entire plot of the movie revolves around an entity that, upon being seen, sends people in a frenzy and has them kill themselves.
None of those people are specifically suicidal in the first place, however. Their self-induced deaths are one hundred percent caused by an otherworldy influence.
Though, if self-induced death is a no-no for you, it's impossible to watch the movie while avoiding it.

Debatable. The book often calls people 'mad' once they've seen the creatures and those people then go on to hurt others and themselves. It's not a real mental illness, but it could be uncomfortable for some readers.

Some group members travel to a local supermarket by driving a car solely on GPS, with all of the windows covered in newspaper. The entire drive can be considered claustrophobic, but there is a particular scene where the Presence overtakes the entire car and the car emits proximity alerts in every direction, which was particularly claustrophobia-inducing.

A computer monitor is knocked over at a point (with decent warning) and takes up a moderate percentage of the screen, but flickers a black and white static screen. The scene is fairly evenly lighted even with the screen, so the flashing is not overpowering. It does not seem fast enough to cause seizures, but I don't know enough about epilepsy to not mention it.

There is a moderately graphic scene of childbirth with visible blood/etc. on the babies afterwards. The birthing is shown partially nude but with no visible concerning bits, with visible water breaking, verbalized contractions, but little emphasis on the actual birth itself as it happens other than a moderately encouraging phrase. It is not done as an aspect of horror, but other situations arises during the birth do.

The protagonist accidentally walks in on two adults having consensual s*x in the laundry room. You can see them naked and embraced for a few seconds before the protagonist immediately closes the door, apologizing.
The scene is not very graphic but you can hear and see them while the door is open.
