While not abuse, a child is seen being put through an exorcism briefly, and appears to be in pain.

You do not see any animals die. However, the main character uses a taxidermied animal in his sculptures in one of the opening scenes.

Someone holds their hands over another person's nose and mouth for a few seconds to prove a point, then releases them.

[Spoiler] no anxiety attacks but the main character is diagnosed with schizophrenia and has moments of panic while sorting what is real and what is a hallucination.

The entire concept is fairly ableist in that it conflates mental illness with demonic possession.
