Both Conner and Greg's pasts involve being abandoned by their fathers at some point; Conner mentions being abandoned by Logan, specifically not seeing him for "three years", and Greg's father is repeatedly insinuated to have been a deadbeat.

Logan constantly gaslights and otherwise manipulates his children, to the point where even the audience can become confused by his behavior. On one specific occasion we see him clearly and intentionally hits his son, who he gaslights by saying he didn't even make contact.

It's implied Logan was physically abused by his uncle, though this has yet to be expanded on. It's also mentioned that Logan hit Roman on at least two occasions, and it could be interpreted that he'd been a child.

Roman makes multiple jokes about having been sexually assaulted, both by his brother (which was a cruel joke on Roman’s part to upset him) and by a camp counselor. The show itself does not frame any sort of sexual assault as a joke.

Roman slaps Shiv in the second episode when they are fighting in the lecture hall at the hospital. It’s meant to be a silly kind of funny sibling fight but could be triggering for some people because it is kind of out of nowhere. He slaps her, then they proceed to fight

Later, Iverson attempts to take an object away from Logan when Logan loses a game they were playing and Logan strikes him.

No, but in one scene Logan (while drugged) seems to mistake his daughter for someone else and guides her hand towards his crotch. She is shocked and disgusted and runs away, and it's never mentioned again.

Roman makes a lot of dehumanizing comments about women in season one.

In the first episode, Logan mockingly asks Kendall if he’s going to cry. In S4E9, a male character breaks down in tears at a funeral. He is later mocked for it by one of his associates, and we find out a video of him crying has been leaked online.

Logan, in the first episode. It is seen on screen, and in the following episodes he behaves erratically while he recovers from it.

Sandy has late stage dementia, which is maybe caused by syphilis (but that might just be a rumour), this is mocked by a lot of the characters.
The president was mentioned to have memory issues, causing him not to re-run.

not really a chronic illness but logan has various health issues throughout the series; his declining physical health as he ages is a major plot point

Seasons 1 and 3 both have what could be considered sad endings, however the show isn’t finished.

In s2e6 Logan is mad and thumps the inside of the helicopter the characters are riding in, moving it, and startles them.

Yes, but very little, as it is a realistic drama series, often from nothing more intense than a nosebleed, or on one occasion, a character's two front teeth being knocked out.

It’s worth noting that the suicide using a gun is not confirmed to be a suicide until several minutes after the gunshot was heard, and it is reacted to as an active shooter situation in the duration of this time.
