Is there a verb form of "trigger". I found ĉano is the hammer of a firearm, but I am thinking about the psychological term, something that triggers anger or regression into past-experience.

Does "ĉani" work?

Maybe "ĉani" if you want to stick to the metaphor/metonymy. Or otherwise maybe "kaŭzi", "ekkaŭzi", "igi" aŭ "ekigi".
I think Hyperboreus is quite right. Anyway I did this: I typed here http://gramtrans.com/ "The death of a son can trigger depression" and I got "La morto de filo povas ekigi depresion"

I chose "Text Tanslation" and then "Medical". Of course, first "English to Esperanto"

For arousing psychological states, you might use 'stimuli' or 'eksciti'.

Dankon for these good answers.

Eksciti sounds good.

My new agenda is to avoid triggering other people so as not to be triggered myself by them. For instance, to still argue with someone in a mild way, avoiding trigger words that have to do with politics or religion. For instance God or Atheism are both trigger words when they appear in a paragraph.

provoki?

I would use "ekkaŭzi" here.

Amike,

ekkaŭzi might be right. I was looking for a word that is psychiatric and yet common, as the word 'trigger' has entered layman speech.

You can see this page has a "trigger warning", for instance:
