Do not rush into accepting marriage to this man. Instead, give yourself time to think, coupled with performing Istikhara. The psychological issues you mentioned affect the stability of the marital relationship, and you may not be able to bear their consequences. Do not wrong yourself or risk the future of your life and your family. For defects that are tolerated after marriage, it is not necessary to tolerate them at its beginning.
