A shocking incident has emerged from Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh, where a young man, struggling with addiction and depression, impulsively drove a three-inch nail into his own head. The nail penetrated through the bone and reached his brain. His family rushed him to the Fatehpur Community Health Center, where doctors referred him to Kanpur's GSVM Medical College three days ago. A team from the neurology department successfully performed a complex surgery to save his life.

The victim, Vijay Kumar, works as a welder. His father and brother are employed in Bengaluru, leaving him to live alone in the village, which led him to fall into bad company and succumb to substance abuse. Reports indicate that Vijay had been under the influence of drugs continuously for 24 hours. Three days prior to the incident, he fell into a deep depression and impulsively drove the nail into his head.

Vijay's condition deteriorated as the nail reached his brain, causing him to experience seizures and loss of consciousness. He was admitted to the emergency ward at Halat Hospital. The surgery posed significant challenges for the neurosurgeons due to the severity of his injuries.

Dr. Manish Singh, head of the neurosurgery department at GSVM Medical College, reported that the young man arrived in critical condition. After reviewing the CT scan, it was confirmed that the nail had caused a severe injury to his brain, which was successfully removed during surgery. He is now in stable condition. Once he recovers, counseling will be arranged for him in the psychiatric department.
