Jordan Peterson battling serious neurological injury, daughter Mikhaila says

Controversial psychologist Jordan Peterson is currently facing a serious health condition involving a neurological injury and symptoms of akathisia, as revealed by his daughter Mikhaila Peterson. This news comes after Mikhaila announced last August that her father, the 63-year-old Canadian author and commentator, was diagnosed with chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS), an immune system dysfunction. Peterson had previously checked into rehab for benzodiazepine addiction in 2019.

In a recent post on X, Mikhaila shared a teary video where she expressed the challenges her father has been facing. She described the past year as “hell” and mentioned that she has cried every single day. According to her, they have discovered that Peterson has a psych med-induced neurological injury and is suffering from akathisia. Despite not having taken any psychiatric medications for the past six years, mold exposure and stress from recent events have exacerbated his symptoms, leading to sepsis.

Mikhaila emphasized that her father’s akathisia has been severe and highlighted that such neurological injuries are more common than people realize and are often misdiagnosed. Akathisia is a condition that can cause restlessness, mental distress, and an inability to sit still, making it a challenging experience for those affected.

She also mentioned that she will refrain from posting on social media until her father’s situation improves, as she does not want to add additional stress for her family. Mikhaila expressed her intention to raise awareness about psych med injuries as it has impacted her health as well. She requested prayers for her father’s recovery and emphasized the devastating effects of such injuries.

In a previous social media post in August, Mikhaila had announced her father’s CIRS diagnosis, attributing it to a genetic predisposition that affects the immune system’s ability to identify and detoxify mold and bacteria in indoor air. The Petersons have previously advocated for the carnivore diet, consuming only beef with salt and soda water.

Despite the challenges he is currently facing, Jordan Peterson remains a prominent figure in the field of psychology and self-help. His critical views on various societal issues and his bestselling book “12 Rules for Life” have garnered global recognition. Peterson’s journey through this health crisis will undoubtedly be closely monitored by his followers and supporters.
