In season 7 episode 10, it shows Bobby’s early family life. His father abused him and his mother emotionally and physically.
There are themes of domestic violence throughout the show. ( A kid literally whipping herself through emotional manipulation, multiple spouses killing eachother (though one is usually a monster) etc.

Perhaps not for "spectacle", but women are often hit, beaten, abducted and killed, sometimes in unnervingly realistic ways that could definitely be triggering for some.

There is so many examples of non-consensual sex which is often not acknowledged as sa. Though most examples of on screen rape it is because of uninformed consent, sex while on mind altering substances, or sex with a being thats possessing someone else so the people we see involved are happy and enthusiastic during, it's still not consensual.

throughout all seasons of the show there are scenes of characters cutting their palms or firearms for rituals, spells, ad sigils. The cuts are not often shown explicitly on camera and I the later season are healed quickly by Castiel.
There are a few scenes of Castiel with larger cuts. One scene shows a sigil cut into his chest, and another shows a message carved into his chest by another character.
Almost every character ends up with a cut at some point, most often from violence from a monster or another character.

Typically sticks to suggestive sprays of blood, shots of bodies that don't peer into injuries, blood on clothing. Most injuries are streaks of red on bodies with a few exceptions for pitted looking burns or magical wounds that don't look like normal gore. Some episodes show severed heads. Individual body parts such as bones or eyeballs. Sometimes graphic sound effects meant to gross the viewer out. Many characters die in horrible ways but the wound itself is off-screen, with sprays of blood and gross sound effects.

The protagonist wakes up in an alternate reality and can't decide if it's real. Sensations from reality like dead bodies randomly appear and cause jumpscares. The characters in the other reality admit they aren't real. The protagonist kills himself hoping his death won't be real and it will bring him back to reality. The audience doesn't know which is reality during the episode or whether suicide will just kill the protagonist.

•In S5 Famine, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, causes insatiable hunger similar to binge eating. We see this affect a main character [Castiel].
•It is implied that Dean (main character) may have a binge eating disorder from childhood neglect (lack of food while Dad abandoned them on hunting trips). Most non-violent scenes with Dean feature him consuming food of some kind. He has an unhealthy relationships and attachments to food, sometimes putting it above other priorities.

Hitler is briefly risen from the dead, but is quickly killed. None of his ideals are appreciated or adopted by any protagonist characters. There is a Jewish character, Aaron if I remember correctly, but he is not portrayed in an antisemitic way. Crowley, when he was the king of hell, has a portrait of himself in Nazi uniform with an insignia of a pitchfork in place of the swastika. He does not hold antisemitic beliefs or values. Jewish folklore is mentioned several times throughout the show, but never in a derogatory way.

In "Free To Be You And Me" Dean finds out Castiel is a virgin and attempts to get him to have sex despite his visual discomfort in the situation. This scene is played for laughs. There are other cases where Castiel's lack of understanding about sex is laughed at (such as season 6 episode 3, the "pizza man" bit) but it is never directly stated in the show that Castiel is on the asexual spectrum.

She doesn't want to abort but is being told if she doesn't she'll endanger the world. She dies from the birth.

!SPOILERS!
God is defeated by Jack, who quickly fills the position. Cas is in The Empty (SuperMegaTurbo Hell), and stays there until being briefly mentioned by Bobby in the last scene. Dean dies while fighting "clown-vampires", getting impaled by a large screw sticking out from the wall (OSHA Violation). Sam lives on, without his brother and starts a family, but eventually dies of old age. They are reunited in heaven. Cas and Jack are absent for the finale. Not necessarily sad (more bittersweet), but extremely disappointing for long-time fans.
