Should this (medication) really be the go-to for chronic mental illness conditions? I argue that no, no it should not.

I agree that meds are overprescribed, but there are some exceptions where someone ends up better off with than without it as a sort of "Pick Your Poison" problem. 

For the most part I argue that medication is bad, and that learning coping strategies over a longer period of time is what helps when compared to how medication tends to make the thing it's treating worse in the long run while rendering those on them dependent and strung out. 

should we turn to world religions?

I don't ascribe to them, but they are helpful for some people over how it provides them with a sense of direction and a like-minded community to interact with. 

I don't see Religion as the problem so much as the specifics within each Religion lending to bad expressions from their readers. 

Should we turn to long drawn out complex rituals and ceremonies with like 100 different objects and plant medicines and baths when a simple prayer and some affirmations is all that is really needed?

My only answer there is "if it works". 

I can describe why a Spa Day or Hot Tub is good for anybody, but Rituals are about the Associations the person involved has with it more than the Ritual itself. 

I also argue not. this being said, I am in the process of testing the new most efficient and quickest methods of alleviating chronic Illness- with a heart for those suffering from chronic Illness as I have been through it myself- in this age of "ain't nobody got time for that". :p

If there were fast answers, people would be doing those instead. It is normal for people to be impatient at the very least, which is what has led to answers like Religion and Medication in the first place over it's promises of speed and streamlining. 

Wisdom takes time, and suffering is gragually mitigated rather than tossed aside all at once. It is as if weathering through a storm, with time we become willful enough to resist the conditions and wise enough to bring a raincoat and umbrella.
