The chemist was known to be abusing his wife. This is referenced in a conversation between two characters. The abuse is not shown, but we do see the long lasting effects - she is constantly in pain, particularly in her hands and wrists.

the town makes nasty comments towards McSweeney's brother, barney, who is assumed to have multiple disabilities but exhibits mostly heavily stereotypical autistic characteristics like stimming and a bit of slurred speech. he isn't abused but he is threatened to be kicked out of the town several times id he doesn't cover up stuarts accident. there are also sly comments by teddy about trading his 'slow' brother to spend more time with tilly. so just in general autism + disability rep is so stereotypical and horrible

a boy in the movie dies due to his own stupidity, but there was no intention of suicide behind it.
