Not technically, but the main character fabricates a story that he has an incestual relationship with his sister (who his girlfriend pretends to be). So it is mentioned a lot, but not technically real.

Near the end there's some flashing of images during the scene with the rain, an occasional flash of lightning as well.

Sort of? There's a part about 1 hour, 9 minutes in where there's footage of a young man having his leg scraped by piranha teeth and his leg bleeds.

55 minutes in there's a decently long sequence of a guy loudly chewing gum and it's very upsetting if you have an issue with misophonia.

About an hour in, the n word is written on a sign that a young Black student is carrying. This young man's specific mental illness has lead him to believe he is a white supremacist and a member of the Ku Klux Klan. He uses the n-word frequently in derogatory ways as this character in his psyche after his first appearance.

Most of the characters are mentally ill and plenty of them behave violently often.

The n-word is used as a character believes himself to be a white supremacist/Ku Klux Klan member (detailed on this page elsewhere). There is also a character who believes himself to be a member of the Confederate army and has a point of view that matches that.

Mental disabilities could be considered misrepresented due to the time the film was made

1 hour, 17 minutes in the main character gets electro-therapy and it's shown, but it's quick.

About 43 minutes in, the main character is sexually assaulted by a group of women. It lasts for about 2 minutes before hospital staff run in to break it up and the scene fades. Near the end, a character alludes that the murderer killed because he was covering up the fact that he would assault female patients. Only mentioned, not seen.

The main female character is a sex worker so sexual things are referenced with her. A sexual, incestual relationship is also discussed throughout. A sexual assault scene happens, discussed in detail on the entry on this page.
