Thought about Jordan Peterson was put into a coma to get over his addiction to sleep aids. The drugs he took would have killed him if he went cold turkey, same with alcohol, but with other drugs it’s perfectly fine to go cold turkey.
Like I could see if you have an addiction to pain meds and cravings are too much
It actually was a real therapy done in another country using tranquilizers.
It’s not considered effective and is not currently done. It’s from like the 60s-70s
It will result in you being addicted to tranquilizers once you wake up. Also a lot of people died.

There is also insulin comma therapy. Also high risk of death. Not considered a legitimate therapy.

That one is nearly 100 years old out of date.
Peterson, as usual , spreads lies and creates real world harm.
Dang they used coma to treat schizophrenia. I’m wondering if those deaths contributed to how we treat come patients today. Also barbiturates do kill people when they quit.
That would explain why Peterson had to go to Russia to get coma treatment
He’s lying about his treatment.
But yeah , unfortunately a lot of patients with mental health problems were subjected to all sorts of invented , unproven, and dangerous treatments in the past. Some of that is still happening but most modern countries have bans and regulations on such things.
