What Happened to Jordan Peterson?
Jordan Peterson experienced challenges due to benzodiazepine withdrawal, which led to physical and neurological dependency. The process of discontinuation can induce severe withdrawal symptoms, as the drug affects various systems in the body.

Peterson's experience was exacerbated by abrupt discontinuation and advice against tapering. His suffering during withdrawal was intense, but there are signs of intellectual improvement and brain recovery.
