Valery Nikolaev was treated for a mental disorder after a sensational road accident.

51-year-old Valery Nikolaev is gradually recovering from a nervous breakdown that happened to him as a result of realizing his guilt in an accident involving police officers. The actor was even treated at a medical center in the town of Khimki near Moscow.

At the end of February, Valery Nikolaev became the hero of a crime chronicle - the actor violated traffic rules several times while intoxicated, hit a woman on one of the Moscow streets and hit a police officer. All this caused Nikolaev to have a severe nervous breakdown, and he sought medical help.

As reported by the Life.ru portal, Valery was diagnosed with a “mental disorder” as well as an “unspecified behavior disorder”, which was complicated by suicidal behavior. Let us remind you that the actor admitted that he was depressed and sincerely repented for his rowdy behavior in a video published by his wife Elmira Zemskova. “In my mind, apparently, the lives of the characters on the screen and real life are confused. And I couldn’t cope with the role of a normal person,” Nikolaev said.
