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.

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.

Yes, people are drugged hundreds of times, thats a legitimate estimate not an exaggeration. People are also supernaturally "whammied" frequently which is akin to being drugged.

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.

Teenagers die more often than young kids but both do die, often violently or on-screen at least, this I suppose also goes for ghost kids which are sometimes 'killed' to dispel their spirit.
Child death is also referenced

Massive amounts of non-human characters, good and evil, die. Angels, demons, vampires, dragons, ghosts, the Four Horsemen, several gods, skinwalkers, leviathans, werewolves. If it's a mythical creature of any kind, it probably died at some point during the many, many seasons.

•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.

Yes, supernatural beings hundreds to sometimes even millions of years old have romantic and sexual interactions with adult humans of normal life spans.
Also a character who is about seventy has an implied relationship with a character around thirty, he has relationships with other younger women too.
Off the top of my head, there's probably more.

!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.
