Nothing is ever used in a homophobic context but cigarettes are briefly referred to as "f*gs".

There isn't enough to go off of to be considered abuse, but the way a main character's father interacts with his son could cause discomfort in child abuse victims.

It is not shown, but a character describes their sexual abuse to another. No details are used, but it's extremely obvious of what happened.

A character is shown wearing a bandage over their eye and the say someone threw a rock at them. You later see the wounds around the eye. They’re quite small cuts and the eye itself is not injured

SPOILER FOR THE END OF EPISODE 4

Fergus dies by s*icide after being denied a job he was very much looking forward to. After fibding out they won’t hire him because of his medical history he walks up to the rooftop and jumps. People run after him to try and stop him, but fail. The landing is nit shown but it is quite dramatic and sad.
In the beginning of episode 5 his funeral is shown

it is not explicit, but a character seems to have triggers (words and phrases that make her rapidly distressed) regarding childhood rape.

EPISODE 1: A character puts out her cigarette on her arm, 35:58 - 36:08.
EPISODE 6: It is hinted at very briefly (bandages around an arm of a main character who had recently experienced something traumatic) but not shown, 36:54 - 36:57.

Prejudice

It's a very common theme within the entire show. Multiple characters are referred to as "loonies" (one of the main characters uses it in reclamation often, while a few minor characters use it maliciously towards others).
Also, the way some professionals interact with patients could be seen as ableist.

most of the characters get a happy ending, although one in particular has an incredibly unfortunate ending.

this is a matter of opinion.

Not much but a character is punched in the face and their nose bleeds. There is a bit of blood on their shirt, their hands and face. It does not look to realistic though. It happens in the last 3 minutes of episode 5
