if violent rape is what bothers you there's none of that, but there are scenes where norma acts inappropriately towards her underage son. incestuous sexual abuse/molestation is very heavily implied.
there's also a situation between norman and his wife that i would consider rape by deception (after norman told her he didn't want children she secretly stopped taking birth control to get pregnant without his knowledge/consent - it's clear he wouldn't have continued having sex with her if he had known she was trying to get pregnant, i.e. she knowingly deceived him to get him to agree to sex he wouldn't otherwise). this is not shown onscreen but is talked about and is important to the plot

near the start of the movie we find out that norman's father died when norman was a young child. the death is offscreen but we see his corpse at the funeral while present-day norman explains how he died. later on norman poisons his mother and she dies slowly onscreen. her corpse is also seen multiple times throughout the movie

in a scene near the end, a living character sees visions of dead characters. these are treated more like memories/hallucinations of his past than ghosts

norma repeatedly calls norman a girl, which distresses him. chet also asks him "you're not a girl, are you?" in a derogatory/degrading fashion
