maybe? i'm unsure of what exactly people are referring to. i think it's more a victim of a corrupt system being pushed to his limit

A child is held hostage at gunpoint and is most definitely severely traumatized.

There is a lot of lying and general confusion about what is going on in the film, as well as characters hiding who they are and what their intentions are, but no gaslighting.

It's worth noting that one of the characters is revealed to have been following the other, and taking pictures of him without the latter's knowing.

Amanda reveals that she is a recovering drug addict, though she is never shown using on screen. There are, however, visible track marks on her arms.

A man uses a stethoscope to listen to a captive woman’s heartbeat. It clearly gratifies him to hear her fear, but it’s not explicitly sexual gratification.

The Jigsaw Killer's modus operandi is to kidnap people he sees as not appreciating life and places them in ironic traps.

SPOILERS The only officially confirmed deaths in the first film are Paul, Michael, Zep, Detective Tapp, and Detective Sing. While Lawrence's fate at the end of the first film is ambiguous, later films confirm that he did survive, albeit separated from his wife and daughter.

Lawrence meets with a young woman that briefly exchanged longing glances in a hotel room. It is implied they are going to have an affair. There is confirmation from Lawrence later however, that contradicts this directly. He specifically says he did not go through with it.

No shower scene, but it should be noted that the majority of the film takes place in a bathroom, and Adam wakes up in a bathtub.

While there are no actual clowns, it is worth noting that the killer's puppet, Billy, is painted slightly like a clown.

Adam constantly panicking through the film, but in the end, when he is in huge physical pain and psychological trauma, he's crying and breathes so heavily, it's unnerving, scary and pretty hard to watch

Attempted suicide is mentioned (rudely) onscreen and character is punished for attempting it.

there is one character that had been taken by jigsaw because of his past of self harm, and is briefly shown in a cage full of razor wire. the imagery can be fairly triggering if you're sensitive to it but no direct self harm is shown in this instance. There are other scenes where the characters hurt themselves in order to free themselves from traps, but it is in order to save themselves and not in the purposeful self harm type of way

No, but a character’s previous suicide attempt is flippantly referred to as “seeking attention” in one scene.

not shown on screen, but a character is said to have attempted suicide by slitting his wrists but survived. jigsaw punishes him for this and talks about him very rudely, which could be very triggering if suicide is a sensitive topic for you

I agree with what Breakflip said but this doesn’t apply to Saw 1. She is only shown as a victim in this movie.

While not intense, most of the film was shot on a handheld camera and is intentionally a bit unstable.

Jigsaw doesn't have a very high view of people he believes are weak, even when that weakness is rooted in mental illness or addiction, etc.

Screenwriter Leigh Whannell and director James Wan have confirmed that the two male main characters' relationship has a romantic angle. However, their fates at the end of the first movie are ambiguous. From the sequels we learn that one definitely survived while the other was probably killed, however, neither of these is made clear in the film.

it plays into some racial stereotypes. the only Black character is quick to become aggressive, and an East Asian woman is portrayed as hypersexual, she is a med student and very flirty with a married doctor who she later has an affair with

Although this is by far, the least bloody and gorey of all the Saw movies, there’s still plenty of blood in it.
