Canadian author and psychologist Jordan Peterson has been diagnosed with a condition known as akathisia, a neurological disorder marked by a profound inner sense of restlessness and an uncontrollable desire to move.
The 63-year-old's symptoms have continued despite being off psychiatric medications for six years, with his family attributing the condition to a "psych med-induced neurological injury."
Peterson's condition deteriorated last summer after a flare-up likely caused by exposure to mold (CIRS) and stress, which was subsequently exacerbated by pneumonia and related sepsis.
Akathisia is a condition frequently associated with specific psychiatric medications and can be profoundly distressing, with symptoms including anxiety, agitation, and discomfort.
The Peterson family has requested privacy, prayers, and urges the public to become aware of the realities surrounding prescribed medical harm.
With a net worth of $8 million, Jordan Peterson has been married to Tammy Roberts since 1989 and has two children, Mikhaila and Julian.
