Hello,
Erectile problems while taking psychiatric medicines are quite common and usually reversible. Many medications used for anxiety, depression, or other mental health conditions- especially antidepressants and some antipsychotics- can temporarily affect erection, desire, or performance. This does not mean permanent damage and does not mean you will have the same problem after marriage.
Very often, sexual function improves with dose adjustment, medicine change, or add-on treatment.
Next Steps
Do not stop medicines on your own
• Discuss this openly with your treating psychiatrist- this is a routine and manageable side effect
• Your doctor may:
Adjust the dose
Switch to a more sexual-friendly medication
Add a supportive medicine if needed
• If required, a urologist consultation can also help rule out other causes
Health Tips
Stress, anxiety about performance, fear related to marriage, smoking, alcohol, poor sleep, and inactivity can worsen erection problems, even without medicines. Avoid online supplements or self-medication. With proper guidance, most men regain normal sexual function.

It happens with certain medications not all. You need to discuss this with your treating psychiatrist. If the symptoms are well under control, then changing the medications to ones which do not cause or have less propensity to cause sexual dysfunction can be tried. Good luck
