Psychologist and author Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is now recovering at home after spending three months in an intensive care unit, his daughter, Mikhaila Peterson, said in a YouTube update. She told viewers that Peterson had been treated for chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CRIS) and related complications, including polyneuropathy and myopathy. Although his condition had been serious, she said he is no longer hospitalized.
In August, Mikhaila disclosed on X that Peterson had been diagnosed with CIRS. She said her latest outlook is more optimistic than in October, when she described his condition as severe. Mikhaila added that she now feels hopeful about her father’s recovery trajectory.
The Daily Caller continues:
“He’s still very unwell, but he’s not in the hospital. I’m seeing him every day for hours, which is really nice. We’re working with great specialists and giving him more time to recover,” Peterson’s daughter said. “I’m hopeful he will recover with time. When I posted the last video, I didn’t know if he would recover at all. It was really scary and I’m hopeful now, but it’s still early on and he’s still quite unwell and we’re still really not sure what’s going on. Whether it’s an immune system issue, neurological, both.”
“So, I wanted to give an update that was like things are really bad, but they’re not as bad as they were a month ago or two months ago. So, that’s the update,” she added. “I wish things would just go back to normal, but they’re not there yet. Thank you so much for your prayers. We need them. I’ll let you guys know as soon as I can if anything changes. Hopefully, he’s on the road to recovery.”
Peterson spent nearly a month in an intensive care unit and came close to dying, his daughter said during her October video. She said he had pneumonia and sepsis during the summer.
Peterson rose to prominence in 2016 for speaking out against speech codes in the Canadian Parliament related to pronouns.
In 2023, an Ontario court upheld a directive requiring Peterson to complete six months of social media training after a series of public complaints about comments he made online.
Peterson fought back, arguing the order violated his free speech rights. But the Ontario Divisional Court ruled that the College of Psychologists acted within its authority to regulate the conduct of licensed professionals.
His appeal was denied, and Canada’s Supreme Court refused to take up the case — leaving the earlier rulings firmly in place.
