How is Peterson doing? I know he’s been in rehab for quite a while now. Haven’t heard from him in over a year.

His mailing list said yesterday "Dr. Peterson is returning to health and writing publicly." (this is that writing)

And back in February

Jordan Peterson has left Russia where he sought emergency drug detox treatment and is back in Florida, his daughter Mikhaila revealed in a podcast published on the professor’s website and shared on Twitter.

He seems to be doing much better. Poor guy had a reaction to an anxiety (I think) medication where he was simultaneously allergic and physically addicted to it. There’s a name for the condition, but if he stopped taking it, he’d have dangerous withdrawal symptoms and if he took it, he’d have a dangerous allergic reaction. His wife was battling a very tough cancer at the time as well, which is why he was on the drug in the first place. He had to go to Russia for treatment in the end. Probably never hear the end of that. Good to have him back. We need him now more than ever.

I know, I really hope he's okay after this. I believe his wife died, too, so he's really had it tough.

Oh my gosh I hope that isn’t true.

His daughter posted a picture of her, him, and his birthday steak a couple of weeks ago. He looks good!
