I can relate to mental illness, as I have had severe OCD in the past, mostly Pure O OCD, which isn't commonly known. A lot of the people I have talked to have used medication, but it only temporarily relieves them; it is not permanent, as when they stop taking them the symptoms appear again, and are thus, not relieved of the disorder. The best way to overcome it, from personal experience, and from innumerable cases of evidence, from those who have overcome it and those who are currently overcoming it, is to discover ways in which it will be permanent. I can't go over how I managed to overcome it on here, because, I'm guessing, none of you have experienced it, but it involved not taking medication. For anxiety disorders, the medication will only temporarily relieve it; in some cases it doesn't make any changes at all. For this, it was just a case of using known methods to change the way you thought.
Now this is just one mental illness, and I'm not sure the ways in which to overcome the perils of other disorders, but I know for some, medication is not the best route to take.
Of course other mental illnesses are different and may require urgent need of medication, but I am not familiar with other mental illnesses. But I know for some, medication is only a temporary relief.
