It's in the article:

"These switches to generic medical and psychotropic medications have from time to time caused an increase in reported adverse events, and this is likely to be due to negative attitudes towards generic medicines rather than pharmacological differences between the branded and generic versions of the medication.

This phenomenon is known as the nocebo effect"
