Jordan Peterson`s daughter says the controversial Toronto author and professor is recovering from an addiction to benzodiazepine in Russia.
Mikhaila Peterson says in an online video statement that her father had been prescribed the medication for anxiety and that his dose increased after his wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer in April.
She says Jordan has been suffering from physical dependency to the psychoactive drug for the last eight months and went to Russia for an emergency medical detox. She says there have been several failed treatment attempts in North American hospitals.
She adds that the 57-year-old professor was suffering from suicidal thoughts, restlessness and an inability to sit still while trying to wean himself off benzodiazepine.
