In Ep4, it's implied that the protagonist is experiencing psychosis as a result of anti-depressant withdrawal, and she's told that "everyone thinks you're demented." These implications are used to confine her to a cabin.

There is mention of a brother on drugs, and an overdose is staged - but it was not actually a case of someone using, it was a cover up of a murder

In Ep 3, the protagonist struggles to breathe during a panic attack and flashbacks to her being trapped in a car filling with water. She has some breathlessness in earlier episodes too.

I can't remember if they use that exact phrase, but Ep3 has a character seriously threatening to shoot himself before being stopped.

Uboat is claustophobic throughout, as are the flashbacks to a near-drowning in a car. Worst claustrophobic scene is at the end of ep 5 and first part of ep 6, where protagonist is trapped inside a missile tube
