Yes Ryan somewhat gaslights Kelly throughout the show. Roy never gaslights Pam persay but is very clearly toxic to her and during some episodes some may believe he has hit her before.

Yes. Ryan is largely implied to be addicted to cocaine after he becomes Michael's boss, and later tells Michael that he helped him get off drugs.
Also, in the episode "Drug Testing" a half-smoked joint is found in the parking lot. Nobody is shown smoking it.

Nothing graphic, but Phyllis gets flashed in one episode, and is visibly upset about it, which may be triggering to some. There is also some sexual harassment: In an earlier season Pam states that sexual harassment awareness day is the day people usually like to sexually harass her as a joke. Michael then tries to get her to make out with a blow up doll as a joke later in the episode. In a later episode when she is trying out new clothes Creed comes over and stares at her until she gets uncomfortable and changes clothes.

FULL COMPREHENSIVE LIST:
Season 1: Safe
Season 2:
S2 Episode 12: About 2 minutes and 30 seconds in, people watch Dwight from a window crash his car into a pole. he gets out, wobbles around, then graphically v*s on his car.
S 2 Episode 11: The company is on a Booze Cruise and at around 17:00, michael feels seas*ck and pulls out a bag and v*s. No visual except him bent over with his face in the bag and it lasts about 5 or 6 seconds.
Season 4
S4, Episode 1: Isn't safe. after Michael finished the run, he says (in voice over) “i eventually p* my guts out” and then pretty much immediately he bends over and v*, visual, no audio. wait til Meredith starts talking again (i think she just says “hey Michael”) because he has it on his mouth until then.
Season 6;
S6, Episode 4 Niagara part 1
Due to Pam’s pregnancy she sensitive to foods. And at about 1:20 almost everyone in the office v* in a chain reaction up until the theme. So it’s preferable to skip cause it does show the v*. Safe once the opening credits/theme song starts.
S6 Episode 10
There is a short v* scene in the beginning around 4:20 where Michael learns that the company may be going bankrupt. It is behind a closed door and only quiet sounds. Didn’t find it super triggering, but someone else might.
Season 7
“Viewing Party”
From 14:45 to 15:30, Andy acts like he's about to be sick and from 17:05 to 17:20, he is sick, somewhat graphically. At 21:00 in that same episode, he is seen leaning over a toilet.
This happens right after Dwight is getting fed pepperoni and Kevin says his pigs in a blanket line.
S7 episode 14
Kevin g* and v*. I believe the rest of the episode is fine, but I found that one scene more triggering than a lot of other scenes involving v* in other shows. The sound is pretty graphic (I don’t believe there’s much visual stuff besides him holding a trash can, but I don’t remember for sure). I don’t know exactly where it is in the episode, but just know that when you get to the scene where Kevin starts running, you should skip to the next scene (I think this scene lasts about 1-2 minutes).
S7 Episode 21
Episode is safe, however v* is implied. At around 9:50 after they introduce Diangelo, he starts looking pale and sweaty and he runs to the bathroom. Then seconds later Michael walks in and you can hear Diangelo groaning and leaning over a toilet, but nothing is actually shown. Then around 16 min he mentions it saying “I was in the bathroom v* and v*..“
Season 8
S8, Episode 16
At around 15 minutes in, Packer is dancing and runs over to Gabe and V*s. It’s over very quick, with slight sound and full visual. If you want to avoid it, mute and tab out when you see him dancing and leave it for about 10 seconds.
S8 Episode 23
In the beginning around 3:30 in, everyone in the office is arguing and Robert California puts up his finger and shushes everyone, and proceeds to v* into a trash can. No visual (only him bending over) but there are sounds that can be triggering, and it lasts about 10 seconds.
Season 9
S9 Episode 1
In this episode, at the beginning, all of the members of the office are talking about what they did over the summer. Dwight says he made a new sports drink made of beets. In the next scene, it shows Angela and Dwight in a hospital (for a completely unrelated reason, which makes this unexpected) and after getting some news from a doctor, Dwight v*s the bright blue drink all over Angela. Just fast forward past the doctors office, and it ends when Kevin starts talking.
Season 1: Safe
Season 2:
S2 Episode 12: About 2 minutes and 30 seconds in, people watch Dwight from a window crash his car into a pole. he gets out, wobbles around, then graphically v*s on his car.

There are hospital scenes but in general, none of them are very graphic or anxiety-inducing.

In season 3, Andy is repeatedly shown to have anger issues which causes him to lash out and at one point punches a hole in a wall, he also pretends to go in for a punch at Dwight to make him flinch. He is sent to anger management once it gets out of hand and is later seen as more calm.

I’d say Michael Scott has anxiety attacks, but Steve Carell portrays them in a comedic manner. As well as Dwight Schrute before delivering a public speech.

While not directly attempting suicide, Michael goes to the roof of the office building and pretends to intend to jump off to highlight the dangers of office life (e.g. risk of depression).

In Performance Review (2x08), brief mention is made of a past co-worker who shot himself due to depression. While other characters do take the matter seriously, Michael brushes it off by saying, Oh yeah, that guy was weird."
In addition to this, one of Dunder Mifflin's founders (Mifflin) also shot himself, a fact which is mentioned throughout the show. Off the top of my head, it's definitely mentioned in Dunder Mifflin Infinity and Company Picnic. In Company Picnic, it's referenced in Michael and Holly's parody of Slumdog Millionaire -- one of the questions asks how Mifflin killed himself.

The boss says someone has an eating disorder to divert office gossip in a different direction. A character bullies someone online in attempt to make them develop an eating disorder. A character engages in disordered eating behaviors during an office weight loss event.

Michael says it 1-2 times throughout the entire series. He mentions it jokingly when something doesn’t go his way
ALSO- Michael goes to the top of the roof and gathers the office to announce he is going to jump & “end it”. It’s another one of his ploys for humor & attention. Can be triggering to some.

The content of S3 E1 “Gay Witch Hunt” can be extremely distressing to queer viewers and survivors of abuse, not just through the use of slurs. I have detailed further under the “assault” category.

Season 3 episode 21 - Andy finds out his new girlfriend is actually a teenager in high school. There is no intimacy and it is never spoken of again after this episode.
Season 4 episode 13 - Dwight brings his childhood babysitter as his date. She is significantly older than him. There is no intimacy and Dwight only used her as a placeholder as it was necessary for him to bring a plus one.
