Apparently, there is no data source nor scientific study to scrutinize this assertion. Whatever the number, sadly, some percentage of deaths associated with antidepressants involves suicide. Psychotropic drugs are often chosen for suicide because they are convenient.

> Be advised that the 42000 deaths just last year alone is a number that is generally accepted because of a great amount of research done to arrive at this number. The number of deaths is just for those that were killed by the drugs in the U.S. last year. Each country could report its own number of deaths from psychiatric drugs.

Friends, Do you really think that the number 42000 that is generally accepted as the number of people killed by psychiatric drugs is bogus?
You see, the whole is equal to the sum of its parts. So looking at each category of deaths and the number killed in that manner attributed to psychiatric drugs can then be summed to give the total number of deaths as a simplified example, for it is more complicated than that using epidemiology and advanced statistics and causation associated with pathology and toxicology and other academic areas.
Another way these dugs kill is by attacking the blood system and causing death by agranulocytosis and other related blood disorders that can lead to death. Here is just one report of such.
