There are some unflattering descriptions/depictions of schizophrenia (which is demonic possession in this film) and some classic horror film mental hospitals that torture their patients trope.

Sort of? The mirrors "stalk" characters wherever there is a reflection. Also the protagonist forces his way into his ex partners house a few times to be with his children, against her wishes.

Sort of. The main character is mildly violent to his ex partner on a few occasions, hitting a wall, yelling at her and yanking her by the arm.

No gaslighting, but a man struggles throughout the movie to get people to believe him (they tell him he is hallucinating, crazy, etc)

[SPOILERS]: You see a little girl get attacked by the mirror demon posing as her mother. The demon picks her up and begins to cut into her neck with scissors and she bleeds. Her real mother saves her before she is hurt any further, but the girl is still seen bleeding and is very upset afterward. Soon after, you see a little boy drowning, but he is saved before he dies. There is also a storyline involving a young girl who was possessed by a demon and she gets locked up, restrained, and has cruel medical treatments done to her.

It is mentioned that the main character had an alcohol addiction before the events of the movie. There is also a brief part of the movie where the main character is seemingly about to grab a bottle of alcohol, but sike, he pushes it aside to reveal that he's just getting coffee grounds.

There is an incredibly, very, non graphical, passing mention of a sexual assault on a television. All it mentions is that a woman accuses a coworker of sexually assaulting her.

In the beginning sequence, a man slashes his own throat with a piece of mirror. It's really graphic in the unrated version. May be less so in the theatrical version.

There is one part in the movie where the main character is seemingly set on fire, and it's then revealed that he actually wasn't really on fire. There's a different part where a woman is shown to be burning, her skin is literally bubbling, but there is no physical fire. Multiple times in the movie, a department store fire is mentioned. There is also a part where a recording of a man is shown, and he has severe burn scars.

To prevent spoilers, I'll just say that one of the parents gets trapped in the mirror, so they're technically dead because they can't get out.

A 12 year old girl is "treated" for "schizophrenia." It's a very incorrect portrayal of a real psych ward. (Or a possibly correct portrayal of a psych ward in the 1950s. Either way it's your standard horror movie psych ward, complete with unprofessional doctors and harmful stereotypes of mental illness.)

At the beginning of the movie, a man slashes his throat with a piece of mirror. It's incredibly graphic (in the unrated version. Not sure if it's the same in the theatrical.)

The protagonist is recovering from substance abuse and is on an unspecified medication, he lashes out and acts violent towards his ex, pulling her arm and shooting a gun at a mirror.
There are flashback scenes of a patient at a mental health institution who is violent and is restrained against her will.

No, but it's worth mentioning that at multiple times in the movie there is tire squealing sound effects, and at one point in the movie the main character is distracted and accidentally drives on the wrong side of the road and has a few close calls.

Almost. There's one part where a character is looking into water in a bathtub and then the mirror demons pull her into the water. She manages to grab the plug and escape.

This movie is chock full of graphic gore. Watch at your own discretion.
Minor spoilers, but the instances are:
- In the beginning, a man slits his own throat with a piece of mirror.
- The main character gets his hand cut when he puts his hand on the mirror.
- A woman is seen in the mirror with her skin melting and bubbling due to invisible flame.
- There is a hospital scene where doctors are doing an autopsy on two different dead people.
- The first guy to die is seen once more in a hospital mortuary.
- A woman gets her jaw ripped off whilst in the bathtub. Probably the worst one in my opinion.
- While in the car, the main character sees jaw ripped lady in his backseat.
- a childs neck is cut with scissors by the mirror ghosts. she lives, though.
- a woman is cut on the cheek with a kitchen knife.
- a woman is caught in the crossfire of multiple exploding mirrors. from that point on she's possessed by demons and gets shot and stabbed.
