In S4E4 Victor Creel mentions wanting to die and blinding himself, this might be mentioned more often than just in E4 though to be safe!

Nearly every episode has flashbacks to El's childhood locked in the lab, with physical violence shown in detail and implications of heavy emotional abuse. No mention or implication of any sexual abuse.

Rabbit. Episode 7 - at around 1:25:00. Skip about a 60-70 seconds to avoid it. You will hear it and see it so don't just cover your eyes.

You see a bunny be tortured and killed using “mind powers” at the 1 hour 25 minute mark in episode 7. It’s pretty disturbing, I’d suggest skipping that bit.

There are no cat deaths in Season 4.
However:
Episode 5, around 1:03:38, there is a taxidermied bobcat on display in the house. It is only shown for a few seconds. Skipping to 1:03:46 will let you go past it without missing anything important.

In the cold open of the season, it seems to compare 11 to being a mentally ill school shooter. (My own interpretation, but it felt glaring). In Ep3 and 4, a person accused of killing their family is misdiagnosed schizophrenic and placed in an asylum.

elliesium
No one is in canon Autistic, but the series can be incredibly hard for Autistic viewers (it was for myself) because most of the characters are perceived as "weird", and they face a huge amount of bullying for it, particularly 11. Ex. Ep1, El does a class presentation and is bullied for being asocial/essentially having a developmental delay. BIG WARNING: El's upbringing is also strongly reminiscent of ABA abuse, and in Ep7 about 24 min mark an electroshock collar is put on a child, as the JRC does to Autistic kids. Multiple Autistic-coded characters are characterized as school shooters and one has a very triggering manifesto related to the autistic experience. END OF BIG WARNING. Robin is also coded as autistic in this season and is treated poorly by other characters (mentions specifically she has trouble with social cues, had a developmental delay, has dyspraxia). In Ep 6 about 50min mark Hopper calls a man and his son "slow" to start a fight.
