Sofia, I too feel as you. But I differ in that I believe God put doctors and medicine inventors here for a reason. He doesn't want us to suffer. It's part of our nature, but He doesn't want it any more than we do. He has provided the tools to heal. And like everything else, all we have to do is choose.
I do believe some doctors and some medicines are of the devil. But I also believe some doctors and some medicines are of God. How to tell? By "the fruits of their labors". Right?
Famous biblical people had mental illnesses. I believe there is a purpose and a silver lining. But there is also healing. I really don't believe He wants us to ignore the healing possibilities He has put in front of us.
If you remain firm in resisting medicine, then consider taking a look at the natural healing God gave us. St. Johnswort. Use the Kira brand at drug stores or grocery stores. Its the brand used in clinic studies. Be aware our USA dose of 3 pills a day is pretty low. Many studies involved 9 pills a day. Just remember, it's just plant parts in a pill. I believe a gift from God. There is information of SAMe in other discussions here and in the archives. Or do a search on SAMe. Or go to Wal*Mart and read the package label. It's not a drug. It's a natural substance in our bodies. The pill form is just a way to get more of it. It can help you. God will lead you, and maybe that's why He lead you here. Yeah? I agree with you that God will put us back together. But I believe He does it THROUGH us helping each other (example, doctors/patients), not by some magical wand. We are to help each other. That is how God puts us back together. And He put healing plants here for us to use. That's how I see it.
