Sort of, it’s eluded to in one scene and violence between adult brothers in others.

The portrayal of his psychotropic medication effects is overly negative. That he lost who is was.

Spoiler: A person being burned alive is one of the central plot points, both shown and discussed. Very disturbing.

Almost immediately after the opening credits! A teen boy is walking down some stairs, drunk, and is sick.

One of the main characters had cancer in the recent past, now seemingly in remission. The effects and treatment aren't shown, but are discussed.

A lot of ableist language and behavior. One of the main characters has a mental illness that seems to cause psychosis, delusions, and/or compulsions (I don't believe the diagnosis is stated, but I could have missed it). Both he and his family are often insensitive about it. He also stops taking his prescribed meds. There are also mentions of his parents having mental health issues and calling them insane and similar words.

The r-slur is used once. One character makes several racist comments about his brother's Black adopted child, suggesting he's not normal. There are also many instances of ablest language and dehumanizing a POC homeless woman.
