"Controversial"
Yeah. To an airhead.
"Very controversial"? Oh come on, controversial only for you CBC.
He's a bigot and a junkie.
"Controversial" smh
Having a steadfast opinion and basing your opinion off of studies and data is "controversial".
Yeah hes full of bs
What a surprise. A other one who studies psychology whos on meds.
The people following him are just as crazy as him.
I guess the myth were true about psychologist. They make studies on sick individuals to find their own cure of sickness.
Meanwhile, his daughter reading a script on air. lol.
@@JoHn-if6wy hmmm? lol

He’s a doctor. Call him Dr. Peterson
hes a junkie that is rich enough to seek / get help that is denied to thousands , good luck to him but privilege buys privilege

@@frederick5197 Telling other people they need to clean their rooms when you are addicted to benzodiazepines is a wee bit hypocritical.
@@henrywotton8004 Well firstly that was clearly meant as a metaphor, and he never coined that phrase as a way to cure problems, if you didn't get that then idk what to tell you man, read a book? Secondly I'm not entirely sure you're using the word "hypocritical" correctly.
"The further a society drifts from the truth the more it will hate those who speak it." Orwell
Great quote and very profound given the state of our world.
You are so correct.... Those who do not like the truth are often offended by it, some even to the point of violence.
Orwell is against everything Jordan Peterson stands fot
Orwell was a socialist and he was talking about people like Jordan Peterson .
He's far from controversial, he's an amazing man who's helped thousands find their way. I'm among those thousands. Wishing Jordan and his family much strength and love.
These days an individual helping hundreds of thousands of people is controversial.
He’s controversial for his political views, which he shares very often, not his psychological and self help work.
@@ramseybrown3233 controversial these days means not agreeing with lefties
How did he help thousands? What exact thing did he do?
Everyone asking of his significance should simply UA-cam his lectures. His inspirations are mainly Dostoyevsky, Niche, Carl Jung, Carl Rogers, and other re known psychologists/philosophers. He simply breaks down amazing literature into layman’s terms; including the Bible(which I used to never give any shits for..,)for all demographics of people. You can literally get insight on virtually any social science matter. He’s an amazing human being.
I don't know why, but I really don't like that they're calling him "controversial".
Ulzii Dorjkhand
He’s a conspiracy theorist.
He claims femininity is a chaotic dragon that the Logos from God has determined.
He claims “postmodern neo-Marxists” are secretly controlling society.
He’s like a professor version of Alex Jones.
Especially with the latest, “All pharmaceuticals are controlled to keep you sick” statement his family released as the reason they went to Russia.
He has tens of millions and couldn’t find a doctor who could help him in North America... so they went to Russia.
That’s a huge red flag.
@@lazyfoxplays8503 and he is so right.
He's a genius of some fields of psychology, he's nuts when he talks about anything else.
Jordan Peterson is the most inspired person of our time. He is a voice of reason in a time of chaos and insanity. I think Jordan Peterson is a prophet.
Because saying intellectually lazy is considered bad form.
I don't agree with some of his views, but I can tell you getting off Benzos is awful and dangerous. I wish him a good recovery.
Kristen Toohy :: I was personally rushed to the hospital after a Lorazepam overdose. Which was shortly before I first entered treatment.
The thing about Peterson is that he knows that. Nearly everyone with his background does.
Basic human empathy and decency are keys to civil society. I don't agree with him on some issues but to wish him harm and celebrate his struggles is the new level of disgust
@Las Vegas Free Press no, he said it's a great place to start when everything around you is in chaos.
Never said that's the end of one's duties
@Psychonaut accepting help is not weakness
Meds for mental health are just as valid as meds for other illnesses.
He also said that meds won't solve people's problems but it can help one get to a level where he can start to cope.
Please stop broadcasting your ignorance
Benzos was the most challenging class of drug I ever stopped using. I experienced a grand mal seizure after 4 days of quitting, was admitted to the hospital for a night and relapsed twice. The muscle twitches, fever, heightened senses, anxiety, panic, insomnia, sweating, paranoia, rapid heartbeat and seizures are just a few of the symptoms. I feel for Peterson and hope he pulls through.
jordan Silva who is getting ripped off if I’m getting them for free?
Blame the state. Not my problem the $400 for 20 is being subdued by a government that can’t understand when to stop.
@@pinarellosq2868 sounds like you have experience beinf a degenerate drug addict?
Holy Mother........
Why aren't people being prescribed Marijuana yet? I'm guessing Mr.Peterson doesn't like the social stigma of a lazy, going smoking hippy. Although it may have saved him from all this.
@ 🤣
Best recovering for Jordan Peterson. He is a blessed mind of our time.
Rick Lane for example?
He is only controversial to nut jobs. I hope he gets through this.
Nayr Tnartsipac Amen.
Nayr Tnartsipac maybe true but he is still controversial. Believing the Earth is round is not a controversial opinion, but if flat-earthers grow to large enough numbers, it will become one. Regardless of flat earthers being nut jobs.
@@FollowFunk what? are u going mad without JP?)
oh yeah mister "we should force women to marry incels is not controversial at all"
Did you notice how crapy pictures they pick to show? Difamation campaign.
I have never seen a more obviously ill willed portrayal in modern journalism on a non criminal. The choice of words an pictures is appalling. Everyone involved in this piece of trash journalism needs to rethink their career choice.
And the funny thing, the pictures aren't even that bad. these incompetant organizations can not even defame properly. It's a miracle they still have jobs. And a curse.
Yes - you are right - he merely states a proven biological fact per se - yet these trash journalists posit that these FACTS ARE CONTROVERSIAL - these trash journalists deserve the noetic garbage bin - controversial means public disagreement - YOU CANNOT DISAGREE WITH A FACT - A FACT IS NOT CONTROVERSIAL - A FACT IS A UNIVERSAL CONSTANT - like the dynamic of the human brain concerned with dominance competence that is 350 million years old WHICH IS A FACT and which the known history of the globe evidences as axiomatic and proven -
You cannot disagree with a fact - the Helium atom has two electrons - you cannot disagree with this fact - it is NOT CONTROVERSIAL - Peterson is a Factist - you cannot disagree with a fact -
My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
nick m. Not if they make people feel better.
nick m. We have nothing else to offer other than positivity. Our opinions are all we can give. Meaningless maybe, but all we have.
@nick m. Actually, they're about as useful as many medications. That is, the psychological effects of 'believing' an effect will happen, have a significant impact on the body. To say that communicating you are praying and thinking of someone in a time of need is useless, is the same as to say emotional support is useless. Individuals without emotional support experience far worse health outcomes. Do some research.
Ours prayers are for a full recovery
Who is this "our" you refer to? Probably more accurate to say he is in "your" invocations.
@@shawnhierlihy3690 He means our as in Petersons supporters or OPs ministry. You sound like a sour Atheist.
@@shawnhierlihy3690 Get tf over yourself
Going cold turkey from these meds is intense , you go days and days with no sleep. The self talk and speeding thoughts , the mental discomfort and raging anxiety gets pretty intense . Especially doing it totally alone. Most people don’t get any help, being left to fend for themselves. He’s already at an advantage , having Family, money and support.
That’s rough. People don’t realize that, with these prescription medications too many doctors are so eager to prescribe- everybody’s eligible for addiction.
Can happen to you or someone you love with a quickness.
Instead of stigma we need more empathy.
Peterson knows that yet he kept taking them.
Funnily enough, Doctors and drug companies are legally forced to let you know side effects and what may occur.
I say funnily enough, because it’s a legal compelled speech.
Why is it funny?
Because with bill C-16 that Peterson fought against, he claimed all compelled speech would destroy society.
And yet, had he listened to the compelled speech...
I mean, he wrote papers on why not to use it, but then stayed on them for several years.
I’d say he pretty well knew what could happen but didn’t care about the responsibility of his future self.
You say we need empathy, but what’s also funny is JP has many podcasts and lectures about how empathy is a waste of time and how the Marxists will control you.
So, ya know, hopefully that empathy for him doesn’t leave him a mindless ideologue.
It's actually very hard to be prescribed controlled substances, most people abusing them get them on the streets.
Zachary Hamm not sure where you live there, but I know plenty of people prescribed addictive medication, on the daily. It’s ridiculously easy in fact.
@@kyraswift5432I've had 6 hip surgeries, they wouldn't even medicate me for a broken femur + 10 screws and a giant plate put in until my 3rd day in the hospital, just because you know some people doesn't mean prescriptions haven't drastically dropped over the decade, and people need them for quality of life. People who play around with medication get what they ask for, that's on them.

Man anxiety can bring anyone down so fasr,so far. All my best sir,it is ruff but worth it. Never give up
The people who are celebrating his decline are just proving his points. Regardless of your views, we should show sympathy to one another
Not the younger generations they have been taught to hate, hate, hate anything anyone that doesn't agree with their complete brainwashing. You can't even have a conversation or debate with most( not all, there are a few high iq ones that can think for themselves) they just shut down, scream, refuse to talk and walk away.

Never judge a man until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes
A scientists who speaks of proven facts is "controversial" in our world.
this
So true
I am a great supporter of Dr. Peterson. I hope he comes through this trial heathy, happy, and better than ever! He is a rare hero. May his family be healthy, wealthy and happy as well!
He's only "controversial" for telling the truth.
I'd hardly call it controversial, even when he gives opinions. And the only people that disagree with him come from a side that doesn't know facts
@nabeel ebrahim go away athiest person. I don't watch conservative intellectuals for their religious stuff. Also religious stuff can't be proven, so give me some factual stuff he is wrong about.
@nabeel ebrahim You're a very silly person, this made me smile and for that I thank you!
"Making up his own definition of truth" - this applies to everyone on earth. Is that not exactly what every belief system does? How can we begin to understand the universe if we cannot even define what we see from our point of view.
Further more, every good argument against religion should (and more often than not is) based on academics and logic, because these are the best tools we have available to us. You're criticising his arguments by saying that his "attempt", as you call it, to prove his religious theories through academic legitimacy (which is by the way the only logical way to argue) is somehow incorrect, or at least incoherent, I find it all very silly.
Also, I see you use the term Cognitive Dissonance. I've been watching Dr. Peterson for some time now and his views are very consistent throughout his lectures. In fact, I'd say he is the most consistent philosopher of our time. Therefore either your definition of cognitive dissonance is incorrect by conventional means, are you thought using the term would strengthen your initial argument.
One last thing, casually mentioning your master's degree doesn't make your argument seem more valid, it only makes you come across as pompous.
nabeel ebrahim good job changing the subject Mr masters degree
He's a truly great person. Get well soon, Dr. Peterson
Hes not a real doctor. He doesnt practice any form of science. That's a problem for most intellectuals. A lack of science.
Hes afraid to debate communists who ask to debate him over his wild ramblings about communism. Hes not even educated in economics. Lol sad
Puck Shack Apparently not as pathetic as Peterson’s...
@@haidagwaiiintel7696 what 'wild ramblings'. Ive only seen him criticise the terrible run of communisn in the 20th century and rightly so. He also therefore concluded that communism is bad. Nothing wild about it really.

How is he controversial? What it's really controversial is the identity politics and PC culture we are currently living on.
Well he became famous by lying about (or, more charitably, being ignorant of) the effects of bill C16.

@@mariocroatia9321 how many people have been arrested for misgendering someone?
He says, “Pet a cat” but when you read is material it’s 12 pages of Christian propaganda.
He uses bad science to make false claims that society is run by “postmodern neo-Marxist ideologues who secretly are corrupting and controlling everything.” He’s not quite Alex Jones level of conservative conspiracy, but he’s close. Look up how he believes Government forced monogamy where women are forced to every man would fix the worlds problems and you’ll see what I mean.
He had one hot take about identity politics, which again he mischaracterized and didn’t get quite right, and got famous.

Mate, he is very controversial. The media source was just trying to be unbiased and they did a good job. I love Peterson's work and I know that he's controversial.
@@onace8863 What exactly makes him so "controversial"? Asking as someone who read his both books, and listened to 90% of his lectures online.
@@Cocomixermachine He called women who do not want children crazy or as he puts it "having a psychological problem". That is a very controversial statement. As some women (and men) just don't want children.
Refering to the you video: Jordan Peterson: Career vs. motherhood: Are women being lied to? | Big Think. Statement is around the 00:30 second mark.
You know what is crazy? Leaving Canada for Russia for medical treatment.
Cocomixermachine ????? Listen, I am also a follower of Peterson’s work. I love the guy! In fact I’m reading 12 rules as we speak :) but he is VERY controversial. Let me explain: first of all the definition of controversial: “giving rise or likely to give rise to public disagreement”. Many people argue over Peterson. Why do you think that there are extreme-leftists who slander his lectures as universities. They don’t understand his message in totality so they argue against him and his followers. So he is VERY controversial.
Anders Ångström they could only find the medication he needed in Russia. Watch the video his daughter posted on Peterson’s channel
Imagine being the psychologist trying to treat Jordan, no wonder he said to leave North America. My prayers with Dr. Peterson, he had some of the largest impact on my life.
Yes a real good man. Is there updates on him now? how he is doing now couple of months later?
Yes he's Goina goto the hills for ayahuasca
To comment something like he didn't "have his house in order" or "clean his room" is ridiculous. Him giving advice to people about how to deal with life's difficulty problems doesn't mean he doesn't have any. Everyone does. What matters is that he is dealing with them honestly and appropriately. The man and his family are suffering, and if you think that he deserves comments like that, then it reveals, more so, what is wrong with you. I hope he gets well soon.
Alexander Benjamin Conley I agree. I got upset yesterday reading comments like you address and realized that those are meme-commenters, looking for likes, and (hopefully) they would never say something like that in person. Jordan’s never said his life was perfect, in fact he points out his shortcomings often and I respect him more for addressing this unfortunate results of many variables where he obviously needed help and is getting it. That’s what noble humans do, and they lead by example, and with vulnerability. I have more respect for him than ever!
He is not controversial.

All my hopes and prayers for Dr. Peterson and his family.
I was on Benzo for 2 years everyday. I read the biggest nightmare stories on the internet and it scared me so bad to quit. I quit cold Turkey in a week. Zero withdrawal and felt great. Everyone different with drugs.
The vast majority of people will develop physical dependency on (for example)Diazapam if they take 30mgs a day for 21 days. After that, withdrawal attacks the central nervous system. Im glad you had an easy time but suggesting would be like that for others is because "everyones different" is misguided dangerous. Benzo withdrawal CAN BE FATAL.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND COLD TURKY WITH BENZOS FOR ANYONE
Please see your Doctor if you are ready to quit. Medical detox is infinitely safer and less painful.
Lucky
@@zackg007 I'm starting to think Peterson was a fraud. This guy new exactly what he was taking and very educated on addiction. Non sense it started with a small script. He was probably a junkie for years!
When I was taking them I knew I was treading in deep as water. How Jordon did this to himself makes me really question his judgment.
makaveliking ofraprip
That’s the thing about addiction though. It can happen to anyone. Nobody gets up in the morning and says "I think I’ll become an addict today.” People think because they’re educated or successful that it won’t happen to them. Many of the world’s great minds were tortured, and even killed by addiction. Nobody is immune. And nobody thinks it will happen to them.
12 years ago, I was taking Clonazepam. Quit "cold turkey", in ignorance. 10 days later suffered a grand mal seizure. Dislocated shoulder(out the back), almost bit tongue off and memory has never been the same. I was also cocktailing other mind altering stuff which wasn't smart either. I'm lucky to be alive and happy today. So good luck.
You are extremely lucky my brother in law went through the same scenario but didn't have a positive outcome. He committed suicide I last July. He went to a hospital twice that week after attempted suicide,they didn't do anything but release after 12 hrs. Do God but don't do the drugs they don't end well.
@@Kathleen253
Thanks Kathleen. I know I was very lucky. I'm grateful to be alive and happy to be clean and aware and alive. I'm sorry you lost someone.
Would you care to give more details about the memory loss? Curious about someone I know who went through two seizures in one day during benzo withdrawal and haven’t been the same since. They appear to struggle with severe short term memory loss now a couple of years later, for example, every other object they pick up on a typical day around the house, they forget it’s in their hand then forget where said object is put down. The result is a domino effect of car keys, Food, cell phone etc Always being lost, therefore they are always disorganized and late to everything.. the person’s life appears to be a mess now and forever changed. Will this symptom ever go away? Thank you for sharing your story, I believe benzos are worse than heroin and I am sorry you had to suffer like this.
Quit clonazepam cold Turkey 2.5 years ago. Same thing, had a seizure while sleeping, broke a crown on my tooth and almost but completely through my cheek. This was the day after the doctor told me there is no withdrawal from these drugs and I'm suffering anxiety from reading things on the internet.
I wish I could say that was the worst night but it wasn't . Then came the akathesia, the hallucinations, weeks of 0 sleep , panic attacks, and thoughts of suicide. I was in withdrawal for over a year and this is from 2.5 months of use.
A few years earlier I went cold Turkey from high dose opiates (prescribed) and would rather do that 10 times than withdrawal from benzos again.

He's a brilliant as a crackhead
Bahahahaha
I recently watched a couple videos on UA-cam of people going through painful withdrawals and speaking on how incredibly hard it is to go through this. I wish him the best.
Funny how GP’s prescribing benzos daily is never talked about in the media. Meanwhile, when they were made available in 1960 they were originally classified as a short term drug ( 7-10 day max ) Decades later, we’re still waiting for a reliable test for chemical imbalance.
Praying for you, Jordan!

I dont see why you wouldnt be, his college lectures are the most enlightening things ever.
I dont think I have ever heard a single offensive thing come out of his mouth.
The hate this man gets is unreal, really shows how powerful propoganda can be.
MrSirFluffy I’m not a fan of his philosophic beliefs as I disagree with main points of his arguments. I also dislike his belief on trans rights as it goes against his other philosophic beliefs and it’s not well founded. But I don’t understand when you say it propaganda that I disagree with your opinion. Imagine thinking everyone who disagrees with you is because of propaganda.
Lucas Da Costa but he is right about the propaganda. Example: you dislike his beliefs of trans rights, even though Peterson has nothing against trans people but the Canadian media uses PROPOGANDA to make people think he’s transphobic or something
Brandon Wiebe I disagree with his stance on trans rights. He had made statements on non binary people that I personally disagree with. He also made comments about people seeking transition that I disagree with. To me he seems like he dislikes the concept of trans people.

I mean, in college you get what you pay for. And UoT seems pretty happy to not ask for money for them nor even spending money promoting them. They don’t even host them on their site.
Ironically, the MIT lectures on science are good because they are funded by the university and promoted by them, so the “free” courses are actually funded by the university itself. So at least those ones have some sort of value to them.
UoT does not promote his videos. Nor do they care to.
That should tell ya quite a lot about the content of them.

Sometimes depressed people cant see logic even if its in front of them. Thats when guidance can help lots
If you write a very popular self-help book, it's fair to call you a self help guru.

@ungratefulmetalpansy They are very rational. Much more than making stuff up in hopes it might work. But 'rational' doesn't always mean 'right'. People need to realize that. No one is always right. It's down to which methods are more reliable and likely to yield desirable results, and which are just wishful thinking.

I told him that even though I disagree with his viewpoints I feel that the other guy was very rude with him. He gave me an answer I'll never forget: it doesn't matter if I disagree with him; what matters is that I'm open to listen to other viewpoints.
The fact that you wish the best to the one you disagree with and at his lowest, says a lot of good things about you. Sadly in our times this is a very rare quality.
sfappetrupavelandrei Exactly. While I’m on the left, one of the things in recent years that I think is terrible not only for the left itself but for democracy in general is intolerance and a general unwillingness to truly discuss ideas openly and honestly. I attended the Peterson-Zizek debate a couple of years ago and what I liked about it was that they didn’t set out simply to present their positions and stick to them. Even if they disagreed about certain points, what they were trying to do was understand the problems we all face today
This is not a morphine-style addiction. It's a physical problem and a bad one at that.
Speedy recovery Jordan Peterson

It's not an addiction. Thats crystal clear in her statement.
When your body has withdrawals, that's because of a physical dependency and is precisely an addiction. lol
@@benbobjam3495 : No one is robbing stores for a benzo fix. Get this through your head, there are nuances in life.
This is not a normal reaction and is almost unheard of. Something is deeply awry. But it is not an oxy type addiction.
In addition, drugs are properly made for people who need them. As with anything that is otherwise good, problems can arise.
Dr Peterson, we all love you and pray for a speedy recovery!
My advice to Jordan turn to marijuana. You can use it as a substitute until you break your pill addiction.
I used dope (meth) to kick pain pills.
Now i take as many as i can get.... Which isn't very many... To expensive to buy... To hard and embarrassing to find.
I'd love to see him spit some arguments towards the "guru" and "controversial" titles media frames him
My Hero...wishing you a full recovery soon Jordan! ❤❤❤
Best of luck and a speedy recovery !! His common sense approach is a breath of fresh air!! He is held in very high regard by millions here in Brazil!! May God bless him and his family!!
Hope he gets well👍
thankyou
To you dummies saying he's a "drug addict" or whatever, go watch his daughter's family update video to hear the full story before jumping to your conclusions.
💯
Why would I waste my time listening to a mono toned girl. Read from a script her father wrote?
I'm sure CBC covered the story well. Peterson is an addict.he Is getting help.
What more do you need?
If your body has withdrawals. That's a physical dependency and guess what .. AN ADDICTION. That's makes you an addict; intentional or not.
@Cool Story Bro Typical 😂 I don't need to be a fanboy to watch a 2 minute update video and have a bit of common sense. I barely watch Jordan Peterson so why would you assume I'm a fanboy? Assumptions lead to daft conclusions and you proved it there twice. You've finally found an opening to hate on someone or label them as something and you're fully capitalising on it, right? Twisting and misinterpreting someone's words to suit your own agenda. Typical of humans to find anything and everything to complain about. If you can't comprehend what his daughter said I don't know what to say to you.
@@benbobjam3495 Yeahh I know but people are making it sound as if it's intentional.
How can you talk bad about someone seeking self-help from an addiction prescribed by our very own health care system?
I don’t get it... 🤔 Any suggestions?
I think part of the problem is that companies create new drugs like fentinal which is more dangerous and addictive and not create drugs that are needed like new antibiotics.
Oh no ! I hope he recovers quickly. His insights, lectures, debates and uploads have not only improved the quality of my life but actually saved it from the destructive habits and path I was taking. I pray for him.
To his detractors I say criticism is easily made. Make the effort and share your insights and views that may benefit others as he has done. Thank you
This story says one thing...if you can possibly avoid it you should stay away from ALL medications!
I need to hear that from his mouth. Is that really the truth ? How can we know ?
Sad to hear of Dr Peterson's illness. My best wishes for a full recovery
Benzodiazepines are So addictive!! Apparently the worst withdrawal of anything.. heroin etc. Should interview an addiction Doctor about Benzo Withdrawal
Best of Luck Dr. Peterson.
thankyou
❤🙏⚘🍀 best wishes for healing to all of the family Peterson
That Xanax is nasty stuff. It’s incredibly easy to become dependent on it, and extremely hard to get off it when you no longer need it for anxiety.
I don’t keep my room tidy, but I quit a 5 year benzo addiction without rehab. Need any advice Jordan?
Haha!! Love it.
Get well Jordan, we hope things turn out good for ya.
update?
Hi. I hope dad is ok. I've been there..
This man changed my life. Best of luck to you Jordan - Toronto
HE is a great man, and a great mind, The world need's him!
Jordan you are very strong, strong like warrior you must channel your strength to overcome this terrible addiction.
I'm tapering off Klonopin now. I can't even explain the mental and physical pain. This is not normal or humane. And the loss is indescribable
Taper slower. If you are in pain, you are doing it too fast. Been there.
I have no experience with this, but I heard dr. Heather Ashton has some good advice for people going through this ordeal.
A note to the wise...do NOT go 'cold turkey' off your brain meds! Geez, the internet is at your fingertips, look it up before stopping any meds!
he's a psychologist. i'm not sure he needed to google anything
Love your comment big pharma should be telling the docs this too.
The docs are only trying to help. He had to of had depression or anxiety that needed treatment and can be life threatening. Many with severe depression and anxiety commit suicide. If he'd not been prescribed meds and he committed suicide everyone would blame the docs for not prescribing.
Many just don't realize they should be tapered off the meds so they don't get physically ill. Because some get physically sick with vomiting, diarrhea, they're sweating the drugs out and they get dangerously dehydrated. A medical detox is basically taking someone off the meds while they have IV fluids to make sure the person doesn't get dehydrated. The dehydration's more dangerous than the drugs. Same thing with opiates but the docs will take your meds and let you go cold turkey that's what kills. Lack of knowing how to properly & slowly stop the meds is a bigger problem than most realize. Big pharma should be telling the docs how to do that. It's not the docs fault they're only trying to help.
day spoiler Psychologists and psychiatrists are two different things. At any rate, he’s an academic, not a mental health professional.
One of the greatest philosophers of modern times, Jordan Peterson has helped me a countless others make sense of a confusing and rapidly changing world. He has combined his education and experience in psychology and philosophy to try to help others cope with the stresses of modern life. It’s saddening that he has struggled with health issues over the years but I hope he makes a full recovery and enjoys a long and productive life.
Sincerely hope he gets well soon
I have a panic disorder. I have been taking a low dose of Klonopin, a form benzodiazepine, for years with no ill effects. Anyone can have a bad reaction to any medication. I wish Dr. Peterson the best for a rapid recovery. The world needs thinkers like him.
