Canadian psychologist, author, and public speaker Jordan Peterson is suffering from akathisia, a condition characterized by restlessness, caused by a neurological injury from psychiatric medication, his daughter says.
Mikhaila Peterson shared on social media that her father has a “psych med induced neurological injury,” despite not taking psychiatric medications for six years. She said the injury is causing akathisia, a condition he was diagnosed with in 2020 associated with benzodiazepine withdrawal.
