Not exactly, but there is a case in season one where young boys who are the "black sheep" of their families are manipulated into running away, and the parents don't seem to care. One family even erases the missing son from the family photos, if I remember correctly. More abandonment-adjacent than anything

Yes. A large premise to the show is the intense gaslighting of one of the characters. He loses his grip on reality, and others do not believe him.

There is one offhand comment made by character Jimmy Price (somewhere in the first two episodes I think?) alluding to his alcoholism. Also, somewhere in the beginning of season 2, a victim is found to be a recovering heroin addict.

There is some general bug imagery throughout the show, but the biggest trigger I’ve seen is S2E4.
S2E4: Major case they’re working on involves honeybees, which has visible bees from 4:15-5:00 and pretty scientific talk about bees from 10:00-11:00 and 21:30-22:30

The show never focuses on it (and has actually been praised for not making it a big deal) but it is heavily implied that a character assaulted/abused his sister and sexual assault is mentioned a few times throughout the show in the context of serial killers and their actions.

I'm part-way into season 2 and Will has had an anxiety attack of some kind in the overwhelming majority of episodes. (*I've* also had a few anxiety attacks over this show, but that's not relevant.)

The character in question says they are 'on the spectrum' also that they are 'closer to Asperger's' and that they have some 'UNDIAGNOSED PERSONALITY DISORDERS' ***Small spoilers**** the mixture of disorders and where he is on the spectrum allows him to profile killers for the FBI.
--The best term to describe the character in question is when someone says: "There isn't a word yet for what SO AND SO is."---
-- If autism is misrepresented then so to are 'various undiagnosed personality disorders' ---- Even then, if they are misrepresented they are only done that way to enhance a character to make them a better 'cooler' more interesting detective. ---- What they end up doing or not doing as that character is not chalked up to their autism or personality disorders ****MORE SPOILERS****** it is chalked up to something beyond the character's control - something that is done to them.

One character attempts to overdose on painkillers during her cancer treatments but is unsuccessful. Later, a major character attempts to commit a murder-suicide by jumping off a cliff, and it’s left ambiguous whether they were successful.

Not directly but if you have trauma from applied behavioural analysis or cognitive behavioural therapy, the show gets increasingly more triggering as you continue watching.

What has already been said but also the part where Mason Verger (SPOILER SEASON 2 EP 12) eats his own face (END SPOILER). If you want to skip the scene is from 32:06 but it's also often in the background while the main characters talk, so you could miss important dialogues. Also sometimes some of the characters engage in risky behaviors that could be seen as a way of Self harm

Not literally, but it's heavily implied and their intentions are quite certain. The same character later tries to commit suicide, but is "saved" against their will by one of the main characters

I don't have epilepsy so I might miss subtler triggers, but I started keeping a log when I noticed blatant strobing in s2e4, will update as I continue watching.
Season 2 episode 4: Strong strobing lights starting around 14:00 (after a character is given an injection) and ending at around 15:50 (should be safe to look when you hear a character say "photosensitive epilepsy").
Season 2 episode 7: flashing lights starting a bit after 4:10 (dialogue: "I could hear his voice, but I couldn't see his face") and continues for a few seconds (should be safe to look when you hear "Why didn't he kill you"). And again a bit after 6:25 (no dialogue, Hannibal looks directly into the camera) for a few seconds (until you hear “It’s not him”). And again at about 22:20 (“And his voice, low and even, would pull me to him”) until about 22:43 (“You and I...are part of his design”). Again after 27:30 (“Would you like to try?”) until about 28:40 (“We found a fingerprint on a flower petal"). Again around 39:10 (“Until my lawyer arrives”) until about 39:35 (furious stammering/sobbing). And lastly, some mild flickering from a fireplace at the very end, around 42:20 (“...my therapy) until the credits roll (all sound cuts out, then is replaced by irregular percussion-dominated music).

Yes and no. There is a scene in season 3 where an ultrasound of a dead baby is shown. Spoiler alert: really awful and kinda horrific because the baby was supposedly implanted in a pig as a 'surrogate', using a woman's reproductive organs.

Alana (bisexual) and Margot (a lesbian) survive; Will and Hannibal (confirmed by Fuller to be bisexual and omnisexual/pansexual respectively) appear to die in the final episode of Season Three, but their survival is implied in the post-credits scene and has since been confirmed by Bryan Fuller and the cast. However, Anthony Dimmond, who is shown to proposition Hannibal, and Francis Dolarhyde, who writes about Hannibal in a romantic/sexual context in his journal, are both killed.

For the most part the show is surprisingly good when it comes to portraying characters with disabilities and severe mental illness in an empathetic light, like Will Graham, Georgia Madchen, and Peter Bernadone (at least in comparison to most of the horror genre). However, Francis Dolarhyde has a cleft lip and thinks of himself as hideous. While the cause of his self-hatred is likely the severe abuse he experienced as a child, its still a notable correlation.

The show reflects the time of setting and of creation and uses terms like psychopath, sociopath, and psychotic. It is unclear if it is meant in an ableist way or not, but it is something to be aware of in that the demonization of mental illness and personality disorders is unfortunately a big part of the show

I personally would not count the age gaps as “large,” but some people might be uncomfortable with it regardless.
Alana Bloom is in her early-mid 30s when she has a tryst with Hannibal, who is in his late 40s. Similarly, Will Graham is in his early 30s and Hannibal in his late 40s.
