I suffered a traumatic brain injury in 1999 from a car accident. In order for my brain cells to regenerate, God used these medicines to aid in the healing. This might work for others but talk to your doctor and allow God to help you. He is the original, great physician.
In my humble opinion and experience: the LORD also uses doctors to heal. Will God heal a broken leg? Of course. Does he set it Himself? The answer is obvious. Why should mental illness be any different?
