At one point, it was generally accepted that the world was flat.
The 42,000 appears to be a pseudofact gone viral. It's like a rumor. More and more people on the Internet rely on it in their writings without knowing its source. 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.
