There's an obsessive gambling scene, but I'm not sure it would count as addiction.

The R slur is used a lot in this movie to describe an autistic character.

The main character technically "kidnaps" his brother, but it's more him taking advantage of him and his disability to get what he wants.

It's not really a hospital scene, there's a mental institution in the beginning, and they see a doctor at one point but I wouldn't consider either scene a hospital

Rain Man has a complicated legacy in it's depiction of autistic people. It's long been criticized for perpetuating the autistic savant stereotype, but it also dispelled other myths and misconceptions about autistic people and improved awareness of how autistic people have been failed in accommodations.

Raymond hits his own head with his hand whenever he feels very upset, which happens several times. Does it count?

Raymond’s childhood was not exactly pleasant due to the unfortunate luck of being autistic person raised in the 1950’s. And even throughout the movie Charlie’s character arc is partially learning to be less of an asshole to his brother

His response to overwhelming situations or his "trigger episodes" involve self harm. So violence towards himself
