At the end of the film, Rosemary can be seen gently rocking her babies cot. It is up for interpretation whether or not she forgives her husband who allowed occultists to use her as a vessel for the son of Satan.

The whole movie is just one giant gaslighting trip!
Rosemary's husband, Guy, doesn't let Rosemary see her old doctor, and the new one, as well as her neighbours and even Guy himself tell Rosemary not to read books, listen to her friends etc.
Rosemary cries out in pain and suspects an ectopic pregnancy and Dr. Sapirstein dismisses her like she's crazy.
When Rosemary starts connecting dots and assumes they want her baby for sacrifice and finally reaches out to her old doctor - he dismisses her as having the pregnancy crazies like everyone else said and sends her back to her gaslighters.

implied - Guy makes a deal with the satanists, to give his wife's body for the conception of the antichrist, in exchange for fame, success and wealth. He is an actor, and gets his desired breakout role because his rival has to withdraw after mysteriously going blind.

Rosemary is told that her baby has died (it turns out to be a lie). Writing this in case that alone can affect someone since the audience doesn't find out it was a lie until the very end and there's a small amount of time between that where the audience believe it is.

There are a few scenes where Rosemary is struggling with what's real, and she also has several strange dreams/"hallucinations," some of which turn out to be real - these things may trigger the derealization issue

Because of the gaslighting and the supernatural things that happen in this film, some characters believe another to be mentally ill, and a character seems to start losing their grip on reality, though there is no psychiatric care, and mental illness is never spoken of, only implied.
