Highly debatable. The story never intentionally highlights it, but the diclonii's violence towards others can be read as a response to the violence they've faced in life.

Extremely prominent throughout the show. The diclonyius (who are almost all young girls) are put through horrible situations repeatedly, largely to heighten the emotion of the story.

The experiments done on the Diclonius can only be described as such.

Constantly. All of the female main cast are sexualized & sexually harassed, their ages ranging but all below 18. A child is sexually abused, as well. There's a lot of blank-baiting done by the series, involving the underage cast.

yes, more than one character has "flashbacks", moreso to explain plots and backstories, but these all mostly contain traumatic memories. 2 main characters in particular have suffered memory loss as a result of trauma and remembering them causes them obvious distress.

i personally wouldn't call it DID, i would relate it more to a fugue state, but a main character gets brain damage, and it results in her having two different 'personalities' and amnesia between them. said character does however refer to the second personality as "the other one" being asleep when not present, so it could still be seen as such for sure.

It is heavily implied that a main character dies of Suicide by Police.
In the manga specifically there is a direct depiction of a diclonius committing suicide with a knife.

Sort of. One female character has a fascination towards female anatomy and grabs breasts, and another female character kisses a younger version of the previously mentioned character. It is shown lightly that these female characters care for each other.
Both of these characters die before the end of the series.

Two of the main characters are cousins and have romantic and sexual themes together, this is treated very nonchalantly as part of the culture, though the culture has changed considerably since the release.
