In s1e4 there is a teenage boy who a mob is set to hang without a trial. The noose goes around his neck before someone else cuts the rope. Before that scene, there is a whole scene where members of the town are self righteous about putting up the rope and preparing to hang the boy.
In s2e20 the kkk tries to lynch Robert E, and the rope is cut by Sully. (honestly, I recommend not watching this episode because it feels a bit like trauma p*rn. There is a great conversation between Robert E and Brian, but it's incredibly upsetting to watch the rest of the episode.)

While there are no scenes in a modern hospital that might trigger a person (seeing as this takes place in the late 1800s) it does follow the lead as she practices medicine in the frontier. And that is explicitly shown.

It is not explicitly stated as that in the moment, but a character tries to drink himself to death and then talks about it later in the same episode (s1e12). There are other instances of attempted suicide as well (s5e21)

So not exactly, but it can be similarly triggering. In s1e12 a character feels so guilty about something that he drinks so heavily he almost dies of alcohol poisoning. After he recovers, he expresses that he had wanted to die and that had been the way he'd tried.

Off camera a character who exists for only two episodes in season 3 and is an antagonist during them is mentioned to have killed himself in the last few minutes of s3e8 very briefly. It's kind of sudden and then it's brushed past.
And in s5e21 Horace attempts suicide, but he survives and decides to go away for some time.
