In flashbacks. It’s well known Norman’s mother was abusive. We only hear voices though nothing is seen.

Not squashed exactly, but he hits her hard in the back of the head with a shovel. And in another scene he stabs through her mouth through the back of her head. Pretty graphic and disturbing.

But at times it seems Norman's mother is haunting him as a ghost. Though she really isn't.

There are two - the shower scene from the 1960 film is replayed at the start. A character later takes a shower in the present day.

The mental institution is not depicted onscreen, but it is a significant plot point that Norman has just gotten out of one and comes up regularly in the dialogue.

The sequel is a lot more openly sympathetic toward Norman's struggle with psychosis than the original, but it's still the case that his illness makes him potentially dangerous. He's not the only violent psychotic in the movie either.

There's some content that could be considered disordered eating but it's not blatant.

Repeated use of negative terms for psychotic people, etc. Used particularly to instigate and upset a mentally ill character.
