This show seems to have a lot of episodes about mental illness and they’re always very dramatic, they’re not violent towards others (that I remember) but cause physical harm to themselves.

S7E1 a girl mentions she was abused by her stepdad and has a baby as a result of the abuse. not too graphic but could be triggering as the stepdad does appear in the episode and interact with the girl.
