An old man begins to lose his short term memory, and is completely unable to remember things that have just been said. When playing a game against another character, he asks for things to be repeated. This other character lies about how the game is going in order to win.
There are several times where a character is tricked/betrayed by someone they trust.

The series is brillant and coming from someone who's overly sensitive to animals dying most of you should be ok! I recommend

It'a right before they steal her organs, she wakes up when a kidney has already been removed from her and the doctor is just removing her eye - besides, it is irrelevant whether she is conscious or not; the rapist raped her thinking she eas a corpse which isn't any better. But she is alive.

Twice in the Hide and Seek game.
A major character falls down some stairs and badly injures her ankle.
A minor character is pushed down a set of stairs in self defense, and he was unresponsive after the fall. It’s unclear if he’s unconscious or dead right after the fall - but either way, the fall lead to his death. Either he died from the fall, or he was shot for failing the game due to being unconscious, as he is never seen again.

If the doll depicts someone moving it sets off hidden guns at the contestant. The design plays heavily into the uncanny valley, and the doll's eyes are shown moving around in close-up.

It announces itself. The man gags in his sleep (starts at 4:39) and then runs to the railing outside. It is only a few seconds until 5:05.

I highly doubt that none of the characters have no mental illnesses or disorders, but none are mentioned or implied to be the reason why they're violent.

Yes - many times people have meltdowns on screen. Once a person has a meltdown that causes them to completely freeze up and it results in the death of others

After one of the characters chews up a pill, his world slows down and he begins to act like he’s dissociated or experiencing something different from reality while he is playing the game.

Hyun-ju, a major character in seasons 2 and 3, is a trans woman. Body dysphoria isn’t discussed in super great detail, but she does talk about the struggles she faced when she came out - being kicked out of the military, losing her job, losing support from her friends, and accumulating major debt.
There is also one point during the games that she asks everyone to look away while she kicks something. It can be inferred this is because of dysphoria.
In my opinion, she is written tastefully. If you’re worried about poor representation, I wouldn’t be concerned regarding her.

Homeless people are framed as having gambling addiction in s2
A trans is woman played by a cis man, in this case because not a lot of Korean trans people want or would be safe with being in such a prominent role in a Netflix show, I can’t speak on this as I’m an Asian trans person who is from a “western” country but I know there are many nuances to this discussion from Korean trans people and actors.
Worth noting that much of the “fandom” and viewership seem to misunderstand that the show is a grim but realistic take on how capitalism ruins and takes lives mercilessly and make merch or profit off of this art piece.
For example the mr beast real life remake which was accused of abusing workers and the Mc Donald’s partnership, from a company that endorses genocide of Palestinian people for profit and is accused of misconduct and corruption in the workplace frequently or the fact it is being streamed on Netflix, another company with numerous abuse cases, environmental damage from servers and, again a capitalist corporation that wants exponential growth no matter the cost.

In episode 2, an older lady makes fun of a trans character asking “are they a woman or a man?” and “men are men and women are women”. This is, however, treated as bad as her son corrects her behavior. It is worth pointing out, however.
