a lot throughout the show but i personally think the scariest is season 4 when a very scary looking criminal stalks a girl in high school. there are scenes where you see him watching her through a bookshelf, etc. not a very long plot line but still quiet disturbing.

One of the main characters' father is abusive; this abuse is explicitly shown. It is also revealed later in the show that //spoiler: the protagonist's father was abusive, though the father was kicked out of the house at the first sign of violence//

isaac was already mentioned so i'll write about the other ones. it's implied that a minor character from season 5 (corey) is neglected but we don't know for sure what's going on and we don't see any of it. theo also is still legally a child (although not played by one) and the villains of season 5 who are sort of his guardians aren't particularly nice to him. stiles also hallucinates his dad verbally abusing him, and when his mom had dementia she thought he was trying to kill her. not really abuse but still a child being treated not very nicely. i think scott's dad also did something to him but i can't remember what. argent is so awful with his scare tactics in season 2 that when allison finds out her mother is dead she assumes it's a setup by him :|. victoria is also pretty verbally abusive towards her.

scott (main character) has asthma and has an asthma attack in like the first ten minutes of the pilot. after that there’s some “out of breath” moments throughout. danny has a moment in season 3 where he can’t breathe and in season 5 scott’s asthma “comes back”. there are also a few panic attacks where characters hyperventilate

please avoid season 5 if you're sensitive to this!!!! there's other minor use of needles across the seasons (particularly at the hospital and in deaton's clinic,) but they're mostly blink and you'll miss it. in season 5 however, syringes are constantly used & very relevant to the plot.

Victoria Argent somewhat kills herself & somewhat makes Chris kill her in Season 2. She was not suicidal, she just abided the Argent-family code to not becoming a werewolf after being bitten by an Alpha.
In season 3's Hotel California a minor character at the beginning of the episode also kills himself - they show a warning ahead of the episode.

pretty much all of the male characters constantly take their shirts off. as for the girls sometimes they're put in weirdly objectifying situations, like the camera staying on naked malia for a little too long. there's no actual nudity though because malia's covered up by various objects and such
