Women die and are hurt throughout the show, but I wouldn't say it's for shock purposes and it's never sexualized. It's all just part of the show's drama.

Three times in the series, with Gabrielle as a main plot, with Katherine as a flashback, and with one of the son’s of a main character, grown women are shown to be having affairs with 16 year old boys. Throughout the series there are a few occasions where a child is slapped as a punishment, usually met with horror from those around the incident.
In season 5, Tom pushes one of his teen sons against a wall and screams at him, it is very violent but the son ends up okay.

In season 3 one of the main housewives becomes an alcoholic, mostly with wine, and denies it for a long time. Eventually she ends up in AA - still not admitting her alcoholism. By season 4 she is recovering and no longer abusing alcohol, though she will make an occasional reference to that time in her life.

Season 1 episode 20, within first 8 minutes audio only, shes sat in new car and talking about leather smell.
Season 2 episode 11, baby v* on gabrielle and can see it on her jacket, not triggering at all tbh
Season 3 episode 6, Susan is very drunk and runs to the bathroom, audio only and super easy to see coming
Season 3 episode 16, finds out she’s pregnant and goes to bathroom - 10ish seconds later audio only, another 10ish seconds later more audio only. Found this one quite triggering, might be as it caught me off guard
Season 4 episode 1, Lynette v* in a handbag as her kid is performing in a school show around 19/20 mins, audio only
Season 4 episode 12, around 33:40 she’s kneeling down in the bathroom, audio only
Season 5 episode 3, around 35:20 kid gets up from the table and v*, audio only, not very triggering as super fake sounding
Season 5 episode 13, around 22:20 Lynette v* into the toilet, audio and slight visual. Safe when she’s out of the bathroom and on the phone
Season 5 episode 15, around 1 minute in kid v*, no visual only unrealistic sound. You can skip the first little bit of this episode and not miss anything
Season 6 episode 6, guy asks if they have a sink and runs off, few seconds later around 9:25 v* sounds no visual
Season 7 episode 1, Lynette’s baby v* on her around 15:30 after they say she has the perfect suburban family, visual and audio but not realistic
Season 7 episode 20, after trying the brownie she says ‘I need to go buy a new handbag’ then cuts to her v* into the bag outside, safe when it’s back to Tom’s office. Wasn’t /too/ awful but definitely one of the more triggering instances
Season 7 episode 23, after gaby’s stepdad is gone she leans over and v* no visual but realistic audio, safe when it’s back to in the house, found this one quite triggering!
Season 8 episode 1, Gaby has chewing tobacco, mute when she gets out of the car, v* into a bin no visual realistic audio. Safe when cuts to man in car
Season 2 episode 11, baby v* on gabrielle and can see it on her jacket, not triggering at all tbh
Season 3 episode 6, Susan is very drunk and runs to the bathroom, audio only and super easy to see coming

There is references to getting abortions throughout the many character pregnancies in the series, but no one actually ever gets one. Creator Marc Cherry after the show ended remarked that ABC would not let them depict abortion, which is why all the women refer to abortions but usually end up going through with their pregnancies or miscarrying.

In season 4, Carlos is temporarily blind from an accident, though he thinks it’s permanent. Gabby then does some incredibly ableist behavior by using his blindness to abuse him, make him run into things, feed him dog food, and more. She also shames him for his blindness. This then sparks an entire arc of Gabby being incredibly ableist. She uses Carlos’ disability to get a handicapped parking spot and takes it from a wheelchair user, then has an entire scene where she insults and says awful things to this man in a wheelchair.

A few times in the series there are jokes directed at the weight of female extras. In season 3, Bree freaks out when someone took a bite from her daughter’s birthday cake and immediately accuses a young fat woman by insulting her weight. Later in the same season when Lynette doesn’t like the shirts her husband chose for the pizzeria and attempts to get employees to agree with her and hate the shirts - in this sequence she insults a bigger girl on how the shirt will look on her.
In season 5, Gaby makes a fat joke at the expense of her seamstress.
In season 6, there is a small arc where Gaby can’t believe that Carlos would date a woman who isn’t skinny when she meets his ex, and she says a lot of fatphobic things. Honestly, most of the jokes in the series comes from Gaby.
In season 6, Susan imagines what her life would be like if she stayed married to Karl and the actress is in a fat suit, and some jokes are made about her weight.

No, however there is a black man killed by police in S2 that might be triggering, seeing as this is the first (only?) murder by an officer.

A few times in the series, racist remarks are said to Carlos. Usually said by the women he is dating. It is usually said for a joke and not dwelled on by the characters.
When Andrew first comes out, homophobic remarks are made by his mother and she even tries to get a priest to convert him.

Sex and sexuality is a prominent theme in the series. All of the characters are very sexually active, kissing and sex is depicted often if not every episode.

It depends on how you view it! The ending is meant to be ambiguous in multiple ways. Susan closes the chapter of her life that is Wisteria Lane, watched on by those who have come and gone in the series. It’s a bittersweet ending that shows her happiness at beginning a new chapter of her life. Another family moves in and shows the cyclical nature of the drama of Wisteria Lane, which can be seen as an unhappy ending that the cycle never ends.

A few times in the show people are shot or stabbed, usually in climactic violent moments, and some blood is shown. Usually not a lot because of the fact that it was on cable.

Bree van de Kamp is a member of the NRA and frequently speaks about her love of guns throughout the series. Throughout the series there are also times where characters are held at gunpoint, below are the times shots are fired.
In season 1, Bree and George go shooting and he is shot, not fatally. It is mostly for comedy and he recovers.
In season 3, A very prominent episode in the series “Bang” depicts a wronged woman shooting up a grocery store. Multiple shots are fired, one character is fatally shot and another is shot in the arm.
In season 5, a character plots to shoot another on a hike. Shots are fired but no one is hit.
