On page 87 to 88, the violent abuse a child suffered at the hands of his father is described.
Children across the world's dystopian setting are taken away from their families and placed in psychiatric facilities, where they are "treated" with a form of therapy that makes them forget their parents and siblings. In some cases, this results in severe trauma.
A child is also violently murdered at one point. It is heavily implied that they were murdered in cold blood, for the sake of medical experiments.

The final part of the book features horrifying medical experiments conducted on unconsenting inmates of a medical facility. Pg 346-349 are particularly disturbing; descriptions of being operated on while awake, having an implant inserted without consent, having eyes forcibly kept open for many hours at a time while questioned. It is heavily implied in page 348 that the antagonist operated on the subject's brain while awake. They are irreversibly and profoundly psychologically damaged by this process.

At one point, a child is violently murdered, and the state of the body is described.
Pg 346-349 are particularly disturbing; descriptions of being operated on while awake, and having an implant inserted without consent. It is heavily implied in page 348 that the antagonist operated on the subject's brain while awake. They are irreversibly and profoundly psychologically damaged by this process.
There are other brief descriptions of blood and gore throughout.
All of these descriptions leave a lot to the reader's imagination, in a way that makes for very effective horror and could actually be more triggering for some than if a lot of detail had been described! YMMV

On page 362, the protagonist injects a guard with morphine as part of an escape plan.
In earlier passages, patients (those who were "taken below") are injected with unknown substances without their consent as part of a sinister research programme.

The protagonist is a lesbian, and we know from the beginning that she is going to die at the end due to the book's framing device as a memoir found with her body. She dies of old age.
There are many other lesbians and bisexual women in the book.

The protagonist is repeatedly gaslit by a colleague who has nefarious intentions (blaming her suspicions on paranoia and anxiety, etc).
The book's fictional editor also tries to make the protagonist seem unstable/delusional in their footnotes throughout the book.
In addition to this, the book's plot centres on a kind of therapy developed to detach people from their memories and make them forget that those events ever happened. While this isn't gaslighting exactly, it could still be triggering in similar ways.

Much of the book takes place in medical or psychiatric facilities of one kind or another, as the protagonist is a clinical psychologist. She develops a form of therapy for treating trauma that is sometimes beneficial to patients but sometimes has dire and disturbing consequences (which become more apparent and severe as the book goes on). The process involves detaching patients from their traumatic memories and in some cases trying to erase the memories entirely. These treatments are carried out with varying degrees of consent over the course of the book, on both adults and children.
The final part of the book features horrifying medical experiments conducted on unconsenting inmates of a medical facility. Pg 346-349 are particularly disturbing; descriptions of being operated on while awake, having an implant inserted without consent, having eyes forcibly kept open for many hours at a time while questioned. It is heavily implied in page 348 that the antagonist operated on the subject's brain while awake. They are irreversibly and profoundly psychologically damaged by this process.

There's a scene where a character briefly describes her difficult experience with childbirth and her feelings around it.
Later in the book, another character gives birth, but the birth itself is not described.

Both of the protagonist's parents die in the opening chapter. One dies of illness and the other is beaten to death.
Most of the children in the novel have also lost their parents, due to an apocalyptic scenario.
