One character is neglected emotionally by her mother, and both emotionally and financially by her father. Her mother is also very manipulative. Another character is consistently abused by her cheer coach, who manipulates her for a variety of reasons, sometimes using gaslighting tactics to do so.

No; though there is a song that plays with explicit lyrical references to domestic violence, (iirc) during an episode where a married couple has a very volatile argument.

Gaslighting is used often to a minor degree, between two friends in a manipulative relationship, but more prominently within a very unhealthy teacher/student dynamic. Though most of it is manipulation, not specifically gaslighting, gaslighting is present to a certain degree.

Arguably, yes. One of the main characters is depicted as relying heavily on alcohol, weed, and other drugs as coping mechanisms for when she is upset. Her mother is also heavily implied to be addicted to painkillers. There is overall reliance on addictive substances throughout the show, as well as smoking.

Statutory rape is a prominent aspect of the story. Additionally, an underage girl is raped by an adult man while under the influence of drugs and alcohol. It is not shown explicitly, but the aftermath becomes relevant to the plot of the show. The girl is shown to have physical marks of the assault afterwards which may be very triggering.

No, but its worth noting that there is an incident reminiscent of a seizure when a girl passes out in an ice bath.

Explicitly. A girl kicks out another's teeth and we see many scenes of mouth trauma to a rather gorey degree.

There are a few occurrences, but it isn't exaggerated or used as a "gross factor," like, for example, in many horror movies.

No one dies by suicide but it is believed that someone does die in that way.

Early on there are scenes of characters chewing and spitting food in a very casual manner. One girl kicks another in the stomach to "help," her as she tries to purge in a locker room. There are many other potentially triggering scenes of body shaming, especially considering that the show focuses on very thin and athletic cheerleaders.

A few mild ones, and one very intense one that occurs when a girl is triggered after her sexual assault.

There are numerous jokes which hinge on body-shaming, but it is worth noting that none of them (iirc) are actually made to/about genuinely plus size/fat characters.

Not explicitly, but a character who displays many symptoms of mental illness is often referred to as "needy," or as a burden for being very emotional, needing support, being manipulative out of desperation, et cetera. Such complaints are stated very plainly, and could be read in an ableist manner.

She doesn't die, but there's a scene where a girl passes out in a bathtub and goes under. She is pulled out before anything bad happens.
