Before we start taking sides and ramble off some crap either from personal experience or Wikipedia, let's just all at least agree that most of us here aren't even doctors or at least SMEs in this field.

Prayers, wishes, and thoughts out to Jordan Peterson.

Psychiatry - the "science" of neuro-pharmaceuticals - is a joke, because they pretend they can study the subjective effects and consequences of drugs in the same way as they study objective phenomena. Anecdotal evidence from large groups of people is better than most studies from the field, and a vast majority of psychiatrists don't comprehend the huge gaping flaw in their field.
How the hell do you blind a study on psychedelics? How about opioids? Amphetamines?
Most classes of drugs have distinct and uniquely recognizable subjective effects. Beyond objective harm and toxicity, psychiatric studies of drugs are a sad joke, and Peterson is a casualty of misplaced faith in a broken institution.
All that to say: microdosing or regular dosing of shrooms is probably a good idea. If his health is up to it, I'd love to see him try ibogaine, which is supposed to reset the physiological impact of addictions and negate the chronic withdrawal symptoms in one session.
