What really happened to Dr. Jordan Peterson in 2018? In this video, I discuss his battle with benzodiazepine-induced neurological dysfunction—a rare and debilitating condition often misunderstood and misrepresented by the media.
Contrary to headlines labelling him "addicted," Dr. Peterson’s experience highlights a severe side effect of benzodiazepine use. I explain the difference between addiction and dependence, shed light on how these injuries occur, and discuss the challenges faced by those with similar conditions.
