eg.
your situation at home sucks.
you have a shitty, dead end job.
No friends,
No girlfriend/boyfriend.
No prospects for improvement etc.
OMG, the doctor says that you're depressed, and you have a mental illness!
Does this mean that something is wrong with your brain, and you need some pills?
$&#$% NO! It's because your life is shitty!
It's your brain/body's way of telling you to sort your sh*t out.
Popping pills to try to improve your situation is the worst thing you can do IMO.
(In a situation like above, at least.... I wish my (ex)mate with paranoid schizophrenia got some help before he burnt those churches)

They are real medical problems, my brain was sick. Its like living in unhygienic conditions you will get sick, and you can't just snap out of it either, can you snap out of a cholera??

That sounds like a completely natural human reaction to me.

It's like taking pain killers for having a broken leg, rather than getting it put in a cast.
They might help in the short term, but they arent going to fix your problem.
In the same manner, I think that pills can help ease your short term problems, but if not used in conjunction with some long term solutions to your problems, then they're worse than not having them at all.
