S6E14 a woman is obviously afraid of her boyfriend and at some points in the episode he purposely intimidates her
S8E8 a man is verbally abusive to his girlfriend and sometimes physically intimidates her, she's obviously afraid of him.
Overall there isn't any graphic or violent depictions of abuse in the series but there are some episodes with couples that have obviously unhealthy dynamics and sometimes couples will threaten each other or one person (usually a woman) will be obviously afraid of their partner.

At the end of the episode there is a revelation courtesy of the "monster" that reveals futher context to the drugged assaults that resulted in the pregnancy of multiple wemon.
This revelation appears to be intended to completely recontextualize the assults as "experiments" performed. The reception to the revelation results in the victims expressing acceptance and forgiveness towards the "monster" who was at the very least complicant in the crimes (the exstend of his involvment is never clarified), and even happiness in response to the resulting pregnancies. They are shown late in the episode happily with their babies on Jerry Springer.

Perhaps more like an animal friend... In S2 E18, a gorilla (who speaks in sign language a few times) to whom a woman is extremely attached dies, and the woman wails by its dead body. It's easy to see in most scenes that the gorilla is an actor in a gorilla suit, but still.

S3E4 there's a glimpse of attempted sexual assault in the opening scene and later briefly mentioned. It's later revealed it might have actually been consensual.
S4E20 it's not shown on screen but we're told a man who can shape shift changes his appearance then sleeps with women by pretending to be their husband or crush, aka r*pe by deception.

This is ambiguous as there is "possession" of a central character in the episode but weather this is an actual possession or the characters own mental illness is unclear by the nature of the narrative and it's themes.

All through season 8! Most of the scenes are not at all graphic but listing here:
S1e5: 22ish min audio only with man’s back to camera
S1e14: victim foams at mouth while choking. Mulder is shown swabbing lefotover foam on his mouth after. Same foam on victim’s mouth at 29/30 min. Not v* but was a bit triggering for me. 33:50 scully v* but she just runs off and gags/coughs. Not shown
S2e2: not v* but around 20:30 victim coughs up blood then expels a parasite from his mouth. Can be triggering
S2e15: very first scene, husband is heard coughing in bathroom and wife asks if he’s still feeling sick. Nothing shown
S3e4: 13:40ish man runs out of room and coughs/r*tches. Nothing shown
S3e8: coughing up water around 38 min and again around 40
S3e16: 38:58 man r*tching up black oil, you hear it before you see it
S3e20: 28:45 man runs out of room g*gging, nothing seen
S4e2: r*tching noises around 27:37, quick and nothing shown
S4e6: just before 24 min woman starts coughing then g*gs and coughs out pins
S4e12: 32:30 to 33:07 man expels his lung out of his mouth. Not v* exactly but pretty gnarly
S4e18: around 14:50 subtitles say the man coming out of the lake is r*tching but audio to me just sounded like he was struggling to breath. I didn’t see anything
S5e15: 2:15ish man coughs and r*tches, nothing visible. At the end of the open the police officer walks up to the man laying on the floor and there is some substance around his mouth. There is also some g*gging noises (not v*) caused by a spiderlike creature portruding out
S6e19: brief r* noise after cop takes bite of chewing tobacco (very fake sounding and quick)
S6e20: during autopsy around 24:45, you know it’s coming. He runs out room and r* can be heard briefly
S7e12: some v* visible on floor around 24 min when they check on the victim in the bathroom
S7e18: no v* but some gnarly coughing up blood
S8e1: about 12:40 scully runs to the bathroom and coughs into the toilet, nothing shown and audio not bad
S8e11: creature in basement scene, apparently is a bit graphic. Scene comes just after skinner lifts up the rug around minute 24, screen will cut to a dark room
S1e5: 22ish min audio only with man’s back to camera
S1e14: victim foams at mouth while choking. Mulder is shown swabbing lefotover foam on his mouth after. Same foam on victim’s mouth at 29/30 min. Not v* but was a bit triggering for me. 33:50 scully v* but she just runs off and gags/coughs. Not shown

S3e8: coughing up water around 38 min and again around 40
S3e16: 38:58 man r*tching up black oil, you hear it before you see it
S3e20: 28:45 man runs out of room g*gging, nothing seen
S4e2: r*tching noises around 27:37, quick and nothing shown
S4e6: just before 24 min woman starts coughing then g*gs and coughs out pins
S4e12: 32:30 to 33:07 man expels his lung out of his mouth. Not v* exactly but pretty gnarly
S4e18: around 14:50 subtitles say the man coming out of the lake is r*tching but audio to me just sounded like he was struggling to breath. I didn’t see anything
S5e15: 2:15ish man coughs and r*tches, nothing visible. At the end of the open the police officer walks up to the man laying on the floor and there is some substance around his mouth. There is also some g*gging noises (not v*) caused by a spiderlike creature portruding out
S6e19: brief r* noise after cop takes bite of chewing tobacco (very fake sounding and quick)
S6e20: during autopsy around 24:45, you know it’s coming. He runs out room and r* can be heard briefly
S7e12: some v* visible on floor around 24 min when they check on the victim in the bathroom
S7e18: no v* but some gnarly coughing up blood
S8e1: about 12:40 scully runs to the bathroom and coughs into the toilet, nothing shown and audio not bad
S8e11: creature in basement scene, apparently is a bit graphic. Scene comes just after skinner lifts up the rug around minute 24, screen will cut to a dark room

Arguable as to whether it’s a slur, but the episode title is “Genderbender”. Similarly, in the episode they use the word “transvestite” and talk in an outdated way (but typical of the time of production) about trans people, one man laughing about his brief hookup being a woman who “looked like a man”.

S3 E7: A man has tried to kill himself - due to his family having been killed in a fire - just before the episode starts, and we're told that it was his third attempt. He's been failing because a supernatural entity won't let him die. Soon after, we see him jump into a huge pot of boiling water; again, it doesn't kill him, but it leaves him badly burned. Later on, another man points a gun at his own temple and pulls the trigger - because his son and wife have been murdered - but the gun doesn't fire.

in a few minor senses—hypnosis is performed directly into the camera for a few seconds, but it's just a lead-in to a scene where someone is having hypnosis done on them. additionally, because much of the episode is a reenactment, they "break character" sometimes in the reenactments, or do other bizarre things.

Nothing is explicit or on screen rather when the truth is revealed (as in how and why the wemon of the town have been drugged and impregnated) details are not given only, that animals were used in the experiments by the "monsters" adoptive father to try and create a "mate" for him. This is coupled with a montage of shots cut between towns folk bearing behavioral or physical resemblance to animals and the animal in question.
There is no detail given as to the nature of the experiments, how they were conducted ect, only that they resulted in the blending of humans and animals in some way. There is enough ambiguity however that I dont feel confident marking "no".

S2 E11 takes place at a "recovery facility" (stupid name for it) that takes (badly) care of people with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. We see some of the caregivers talking disrespectfully to and about patients and being rough, indifferent or insolent towards them. General physical deterioration and dementia are mentioned, but thankfully, no more specific symptoms are mentioned. Throughout most of the episode, the patients that we follow function just fine, because they're being treated with a special drug (fictional), but in the end, the treatment stops, and we see a few of them "put out", i.e. saying nothing, having unexpressive faces and doing very little. All of them are elderly. I actually don't think we see any patients whom we know to have Parkinson's. I'm extremely sensitive to Parkinson's depictions, since my father has it, and I made it through the episode okay. There are no scenes in which a patient overtly can't remember something, doesn't recognise someone or fumbles while trying to perform a task - they're "just" unresponsive. One of the patients is an artist, and while he's doing well because of the drug, we see him painting amazingly - a big mural worthy of any artist - but when he's back to being sick, we see him making a very simple drawing on a piece of paper. --- S2 E24: An autopsy shows that a woman had Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease and would've died from it within a few months if what killed her hadn't killed her. We're later told that 27 people had the disease.

Many episodes feature an autopsy scene, though the amount of gore shown is limited. Blood is a common occurrence. In addition, S3E4 features a CG animation of a decomposing body.
S4E2 is a particularly gruesome episode with a lot of blood and graphic violence.
