The question is if it is {generally accepted}. That can be shown by showing people that accept the 42000 as the number killed by psychiatric drugs last year. There are many, ways that psychotropic drugs can kill. One way has been posted about here as to that the drugs can cause heart failure and sudden death. I could show many other ways that the drugs can kill, such as agranulocytosis, a potentially fatal blood disorder, or liver failure and kidney failure and much more. This can be shown by research done that is published.
But to see who accepts the 42000, you can do a search such as [psychiatric drugs, number of deaths, 42000, DR Mercola] and see that there are those that accept the number. I think that if anyone wants to show that the number is not generally accepted, that they need to show that others in the field do not accept the number. If anyone can post such, I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly, for I have never seen the number disputed by anyone in the field. In fact, I have seen much higher numbers, and I agree with the higher number for not all deaths from these drugs are reported.
But being as it may be, there are life-ruining conditions that can be caused by the drugs.
