SPOILERS: i hate this episode because of ruby's torture scene. she's naked and tied, arms and legs open, with straps covering her breasts, genitals AND her mouth while she's being tortured with a knife. it's honestly one of the hardest scenes to watch from this show

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.

Up to interpretation - Sam and Dean’s dad is emotionally unavailable with undertones of long term authoritarianism. To me, it reads as abusive, though the sons don’t see it that way yet.

•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.

The protagonist wakes up in an alternate reality and can't decide if it's real. Sensations from reality like dead bodies randomly appear and cause jumpscares. The characters in the other reality admit they aren't real. The protagonist kills himself hoping his death won't be real and it will bring him back to reality. The audience doesn't know which is reality during the episode or whether suicide will just kill the protagonist.

In allegory yes, possession and supernatural alteration of a persons consciousness or mental state.
S1e6 there are supernatural beings that shapeshift to take the form of another. They also absorb their memories and personalities. They attack the person they are copying’s family and loved ones. There is a moment where the shapeshifter talks about themselves being ostracised from society which is why they shapeshift, as if it gives them an excuse to kill. There’s a moment where the shapeshifter hears the voices of all the people they have copied in his head.
S1e17 external tulpas and thoughtforms are mentioned, not the plural kind, the religious kind, the thoughtform in this case is specifically an evil ghost murdering people brought to live via Tibetan superstitious belief.
S2e14 Sam is possessed by a demon and loses time, acting completely different, trying to retrace his own footsteps and remember, the demon phases in and out of controlling him and he has a few moments of clarity where he “comes back to”. This demon is violent and kills multiple people, making it somewhat an “evil personality” trope
S2e17 a person becomes a werewolf and is unaware of it, having blackouts and not remembering that they attacked and killed people
S6e11 Sam’s soul is stuck in hell, his body is fine, he becomes unable to feel empathy. When Dean tries to get his soul back, he has to choose between locking Sam’s memories of hell behind a wall or not getting Sam back, this is a very similar thing to dissociative amnesia and Sam never consents to this happening.
S6e21 Dean asks Castiel to remove his partner and her son’s memories of him so they can live a safe life. They never so sent to this mindwipe.
S6e22 Sam has these amnesia walls brought down by a villain, he then is comatose and dreaming. In his dream there are two versions of him, normal Sam with no memories and evil sam with all the memories and personality of when he had no soul. There is a third that remembers hell and how traumatising the torture he faced was. This is very much the “evil personality” trope. Upon killing the other versions of him, Sam reabsorbs them, sort of like fusion/integration. Later Castiel absorbs thousands of demon souls into his own, those could be interpreted as plurality.
S7e15 Sam sees a hallucination of Lucifer that communicates directly to him, acting as a second consciousness. He uses a pain trigger to get Lucifer to go away.
S8e3 a deity dies and put his organs up for donation, people who get these organs have a vast change in personality, similar to possession in a way.
S8 has Programming/RAMCOA themes where someone is forced to forget certain information by another an indoctrinated by them.
S8e8 has a person who is catatonic outwardly, they travel inside his mind, almost like a headspace to him.
S10e8/9 an Angel realises the woman she is inhabiting the body of deserves to live her own human life with her husband and returns to heaven, freeing the woman.
S10e10 Castiel mentions that the body he is inhabiting, Jimmy, is dead and no longer exists within his mind.
S10e11 there are two different versions of Charlie, one evil and one good. They are in two seperate but identical bodies.
S11e2 there is the brainwashing device/torture method used again
S12 follows a Man of letters who has been trained to kill and follow orders, similar to programming, he is forced to kill another child, he later grapples with undoing these ways of thinking he felt bound to, referred to as The Code. Heavy on the RAMCOA/Programming themes.
S12 includes a woman being drugged and brainwashed by the British men of letters to be a living weapon/killer. She is repeatedly questioned on her perception of reality. Later she mentions being actively conscious and not having amnesia walls, that she remembers loving people but feels nothing now. They describe this as “purifying” her. She is described as “unsavable”, the rest could be accurate to RAMCOA survivors though this is not how real programming works and therapy can often help and bring survivors a sense of normalcy or deprogramming. It is shown she is programmed from someone literally entering her psyche when they are both in a dream state and using ecg cables.
S13e17 centres around cult abuse, this might be a skip for some systems. There is also an Angel that got abused and tortured who has pretty severe ptsd, he can’t talk, be touched or converse with people.
S14 someone is possessed by an Angel and describes the Angel taking consciousness as him “drowning” and being conscious watching what he did in the humans body. There are times when his vision goes blurry and later this is revealed as the Angel taking consciousness of his body. The human in his mind keeps repeating the same happy moments of a fictional world where he got his dream. The Angel gets locked in a freezer within this dreamspace/headspace and tries to get out and come into consciousness.
S14e15 brainwashing and people being forced into playing a false version of themselves. They “snap” and become themselves again but this ends up killing them due to supernatural forces
I don’t think there’s any actual or intentional plurality or DID/OSDD, though I will update this section as I rewatch

In his dream there are two versions of him, normal Sam with no memories and evil sam with all the memories and personality of when he had no soul. There is a third that remembers hell and how traumatising the torture he faced was. This is very much the “evil personality” trope. Upon killing the other versions of him, Sam reabsorbs them, sort of like fusion/integration. Later Castiel absorbs thousands of demon souls into his own, those could be interpreted as plurality.
S7e15 Sam sees a hallucination of Lucifer that communicates directly to him, acting as a second consciousness. He uses a pain trigger to get Lucifer to go away.
S8e3 a deity dies and put his organs up for donation, people who get these organs have a vast change in personality, similar to possession in a way.
S8 has Programming/RAMCOA themes where someone is forced to forget certain information by another an indoctrinated by them.
S8e8 has a person who is catatonic outwardly, they travel inside his mind, almost like a headspace to him.
S10e8/9 an Angel realises the woman she is inhabiting the body of deserves to live her own human life with her husband and returns to heaven, freeing the woman.
S10e10 Castiel mentions that the body he is inhabiting, Jimmy, is dead and no longer exists within his mind.
S10e11 there are two different versions of Charlie, one evil and one good. They are in two seperate but identical bodies.
S11e2 there is the brainwashing device/torture method used again
S12 follows a Man of letters who has been trained to kill and follow orders, similar to programming, he is forced to kill another child, he later grapples with undoing these ways of thinking he felt bound to, referred to as The Code. Heavy on the RAMCOA/Programming themes.
S12 includes a woman being drugged and brainwashed by the British men of letters to be a living weapon/killer. She is repeatedly questioned on her perception of reality. Later she mentions being actively conscious and not having amnesia walls, that she remembers loving people but feels nothing now. They describe this as “purifying” her. She is described as “unsavable”, the rest could be accurate to RAMCOA survivors though this is not how real programming works and therapy can often help and bring survivors a sense of normalcy or deprogramming. It is shown she is programmed from someone literally entering her psyche when they are both in a dream state and using ecg cables.
S13e17 centres around cult abuse, this might be a skip for some systems. There is also an Angel that got abused and tortured who has pretty severe ptsd, he can’t talk, be touched or converse with people.
S14 someone is possessed by an Angel and describes the Angel taking consciousness as him “drowning” and being conscious watching what he did in the humans body. There are times when his vision goes blurry and later this is revealed as the Angel taking consciousness of his body. The human in his mind keeps repeating the same happy moments of a fictional world where he got his dream. The Angel gets locked in a freezer within this dreamspace/headspace and tries to get out and come into consciousness.
S14e15 brainwashing and people being forced into playing a false version of themselves. They “snap” and become themselves again but this ends up killing them due to supernatural forces
I don’t think there’s any actual or intentional plurality or DID/OSDD, though I will update this section as I rewatch

Overall through the show (usually towards the end of episodes) Dean and/or Sam will sit down with each other and chat/wrap up the episode/restate the current seasons overarching plot. Occasionally with tears/punching. In one Episode Dean gets p****d at Sam at punches him repeatedly until he gets knocked out.

B***h "damn" and "hell" are used commonly throughout the show.
The 'F-word' Is used towards the start of the show (pre season 5), but its used sparingly and is always bleeped out. Most notable mention is S3E3: Ghostfacers!

In "Free To Be You And Me" Dean finds out Castiel is a virgin and attempts to get him to have sex despite his visual discomfort in the situation. This scene is played for laughs. There are other cases where Castiel's lack of understanding about sex is laughed at (such as season 6 episode 3, the "pizza man" bit) but it is never directly stated in the show that Castiel is on the asexual spectrum.

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 N**i 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.

Doctors often think that victims of supernatural monsters had a stroke. Strokes are mentioned a lot but aren’t normally seen or the diagnosis.
However! Possession and the Angel deaths on this show can look extremely similar to a stroke. If strokes are triggering please proceed with caution.

There is focus on the entire season around preventing the birth and catching the mother, who doesn't want to abort. The mother tries to kill herself in desperation but does not succeed. She doesn't want to abort but is being told if she doesn't she'll endanger the world. She dies from the birth.

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.

Typically sticks to suggestive sprays of blood, shots of bodies that don't peer into injuries, blood on clothing. Most injuries are streaks of red on bodies with a few exceptions for pitted looking burns or magical wounds that don't look like normal gore. Some episodes show severed heads. Individual body parts such as bones or eyeballs. Sometimes graphic sound effects meant to gross the viewer out. Many characters die in horrible ways but the wound itself is off-screen, with sprays of blood and gross sound effects.

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.
