Jordan Peterson battling serious neurological injury as daughter reveals year of ‘hell’

https://nypost.com/2026/04/19/us-news/jordan-peterson-battling-serious-neurological-injury-daughter-mikhaila-says/

Taking to X on Sunday, Mikhaila, who co-hosted Peterson’s YouTube call-in show “Answer the Call” for conservative media outlet The Daily Wire, said her father has had a “terrible” year.

“Every day for the last year has been hell,” Mikhaila said in a teary video uploaded to the social media site.

“I’ve cried every single day.”

Mikhaila, who is currently 25 weeks pregnant, wrote on X alongside the video: “We figured out that dad has a psych med induced neurological injury, and has been suffering from akathisia.”

She noted that it’s been six years since her father had taken any psychiatric medications, but mold flared his symptoms over recent months, leading to sepsis. She believes stress from the death of both his parents, as well as selling his home, also contributed to his “worsening” symptoms.

“Last summer his symptoms started, after a flare up likely induced by mold (CIRS) and stress. It was complicated by pneumonia and associated sepsis a month later. It’s been horrible.”
