One of the main characters suffers from depression or anxiety caused by his father's suicide. He takes pills for this and is shown to often have nightmares and sees hallucinations of his father. Another character suffers from anxiety and anxiety attacks. He has a mantra to get through them, but it is clear he suffers from his anxiety.
