Hi,
You have explained that you have been on antipsychotics and antidepressants, though obesity is a common side effect, there are weight neutral medications or meds that do not cause too much weight gain. As far as the erectile dysfunction is concerned you might have to get a detailed evaluation done. Sugars , electrolytes, metabolic profile, along with a urology opinion and a Doppler. This will give a better idea of what steps to take next.
Next Steps
you might need a more comprehensive and detailed evaluation and management which should be done in a hospital
Health Tips
find a good multispeciality hospital to get evaluated.
