Yes, and it's incredibly upsetting. At 34:09 in Episode 2 skip ahead to 36:48 if you're even a little upset by animal deaths.

People should really specify what is said. So I'm going to try my best to.
Throughout the show there are general mentions that Erin's mother was an alcoholic or abusive.
15ish minutes into episode 4, when she is sitting down with Riley and clearing bet mums things out. She goes into great and extremely triggering detail of how her mum was mentally and physically abusive with her. Hitting her, shouting, making her abuse animals etc. Aswell as another male in her family hitting her I think? I'm not sure as I had to skip.
Will try to update this as I go along.

Many characters are secretly fed a fictional substance which alters their bodies and minds. It is not a “drug” as such.

One character who has been turned into a vampire purposefully exposes himself to sunlight in order to prove his account to another character, killing him.
In the last few episodes several characters sacrifice themselves to buy more time for others to escape, whether this be through fighting off the monsters or by killing themselves.
The mass deaths at the end of the last episode have a sort of "for the greater good" vibe attached to them because several characters know that the goal of the antagonists was to presumably spread vampirism around the world

Kind of. People are driven to do things they normally wouldn’t.
[SPOILERS]
Almost everyone gets overtaken by vampirism, causing them to violently kill and drink the blood of loved ones, including a kid who remarks he “thinks he killed his mom,” implying loss of control of actions due to the vampirism.

Not really trypophobia, since the effects kind of cover it up, but just in case: in the last episode, there are several long closeups of a character's face and upper shoulders, where you can see an open wound in her neck. The way the effects work out makes it unclear as to whether or not the wound could fully be considered a "hole", but if you look at it right you might see what looks like tissue/sinew

There aren’t technically ghosts, but the protagonist is haunted by the image of girl he killed by drunk driving. Which may explain the almost tie of yeses and nos.

Several characters actively/intentionally commit suicide, all in front of other people, and one is intended to be a distraction.
There's a situation heavily reminiscent of the Jonestown massacre in the 6th episode, where people intentionally drink poison in a church setting. It is framed by the antagonists as a test of faith, and several characters plead with others for them not to drink, including brief shots where a teenager tries to pry the cup out of her mother's hands while pleading with her to stop. That same character's father then attempts to get her to drink by saying "we'll do it together" before he drinks his cup. Another teenager's father begs his son not to drink the poison while he is being restrained on the floor by several parishioners, but the son does and it is implied he was groomed into doing it by some of the antagonists. While the characters who drink the poison do come back to life, they do so as vampires. This scene is chaotic and can be particularly distressing.
Most of the characters, while not necessarily "committing" suicide, don't attempt to save themselves when the last sunrise happens, causing their deaths. While no character outright states a desire to die or has any explicit suicidal ideation due to mental illness, this desire could be implied for some of the characters. The mass death at the end is framed as a "dying is better than the alternative" kind of thing.
Also, please don't say things like "commit not alive". This isn't tiktok, and when you don't need to dance around the subject like is needed on certain sites it just ends up trivializing it.

The main character is haunted by someone he harmed, though it was accidental. Seems like he could be going through some PTSD. Another character's alcoholism revolves around his deep regret at accidentally hurting someone.

Episode 6: The sheriff describes anti-Muslim behavior in his last precinct. He is also held to the ground and demeaned in the church near the end of the episode. There is less overt Islamophobia, but a clear undercurrent throughout the series.
Episode 7: The sheriff is shot and specifically called a terrorist, and told he has “dirty blood”.

No but there is nonbinary and trans erasure in episode 2. Riley makes reference to "pregnant people" and then corrects himself and says "well, women" and Erin says "yeah, they tend to be women"
It's subtle but honestly with all the TERFs asserting that pregnancy is an experience had exclusively by women lately, that exchange between Erin and Riley felt pointed and purposeful.
