Episode "Souichi's Beloved Pet": a cat has a rope tied around its neck like a noose and he gets pulled by it. The cat then gets cursed and starts behaving violently and looking demonic. If it helps, the cat is clearly voiced by a human pretending to make cat sounds, so it's not realistic. The only really upsetting part is seeing the cat pulled around by a noose but it is brief.

This May not quite fit the description, but there is an episode where a mother is compelled by magic to commit suicide, leaving her teen daughter alone and parentless.

The act itself is not shown, but in the episode "Alley" a girl discusses how she killed some children by locking them in a small underground hatch and leaving them there.

Maniac is an adaptation of comics, in which jumpscares don’t really work. However, there are many disturbing images, but anticipation is used in all cases.

Episode "Layers of Terror" shows a woman use a box cutter to cut down the side of her face. It is not done for the purpose of self-harm, but the imagery could be upsetting.

Suicide is a constant theme throughout the series. Though the suicides are usually implied, they are sometimes shown and I would not recommend this series if you are very sensitive to the topic of suicide.

Sort of? There is a scene where a news reporter is reporting on the plethora of floating heads with bodies attached to them. His own floating head approaches him and the camera is sort of shaky while panning to it.

Episode "Tomb Town" is all about fatal car accidents. In the beginning of the episode, a girl is hit by a car and dies. You do not see the impact of the hit, but you see her bloody body afterward. People and animals getting hit by cars is mentioned throughout the episode.
