Morphology
The meaning is largely compositional: 'in the head' clearly localizes a state to the mind and, if a learner understands the colloquial sense of 'fucked' as 'messed up' or 'severely damaged', they can infer 'mentally disturbed'. However, the expression is strongly colloquial/vulgar and relies on a slang use of 'fucked' (not purely literal), so the exact pragmatic force and offensiveness may not be fully predictable without exposure.
Etymology
Fucked in the head likely comes from a strong, rude image: the rude word fucked says something is badly damaged and 'in the head' points to the mind, so it creates the picture of a damaged mind and means 'mentally unstable'.
