Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson is dealing with a serious health condition involving a neurological injury and symptoms of Akathisia, his daughter Mikhaila Peterson revealed in a recent social media update.
Peterson, 63, suffered a 'psych med-induced neurological injury' and his symptoms have persisted despite being off psychiatric medications for six years.
The condition worsened last summer following a flare-up likely triggered by mold (CIRS) exposure and stress, which was later compounded by pneumonia and associated sepsis.
Akathisia is a condition where the person affected is unable to stay still, characterised by inner restlessness.
Mikhaila claimed that such neurological injuries are 'far more common than people know' and are frequently misdiagnosed, adding that treatment options can be limited and challenging.
The experience has been 'devastating' for the family and Mikhaila does not plan to provide further updates for now.
