The purpose of psychiatric medications are to treat an illness. Like heart medication treats a heart condition.

Again what did I promise? Please communicate what I said
I go to a Southern Baptist church and the people there, we all pray, but we also go to doctors and take our prescriptions. How do you know God didn't provide for the medications and doctors that prescribe it?
What is that supposed to mean?

Are addictions considered mental illness?

I don’t have a problem with doctors prescribing medication.
According to the DSM-5 it is.
It sounds like you are trying to encourage people to avoid proper medication and medical management in favor of something that you can't provide objective evidence to show does anything.
They're one kind. Are they all the same?

"Are addictions considered mental illness?"
"According to the DSM-5 it is."
With smoking cigarettes, is the nicotine addiction a mental illness?
That has nothing to do with the fact that you cannot provide objective evidence to verify your claims to Christians or anyone else. Don't you think Christians shouldn't buy a pig in poke?
Oh I'm sorry so you weren't telling him he could be healed by Jesus?
Do you think we were all born yesterday?
I believe in prayer and I believe it works from God. Just not the way you think it does.

Well then God healed me from mental illness and it wasn’t magic, confirmation bias but the power of God. He gave everyone access to Him through Jesus Christ just like the Bible says, Satan hates this and will do everything He can to try to stop it but he can’t because he was defeated at the Cross and Jesus triumphed there. What I believe and know.

Yeah I told him it was possible, is that a promise?

I asked God for help and He didn't show up, but people often do show up to help, like my friends @Truthseeker , @Sgt. Pepper , and @JustGeorge.
If you have found recovery, I'm happy for you. I can't and wouldn't say it didn't happen, but it certainly doesn't rule out the practice of medicine to help those in need and you shouldn't encourage others that may not be in the same place you are to just toss out their prescriptions and go it on there.
I happen to think that God heals through the hands of physicians and the skill of researchers that discover and develop the medications that help millions find their health.
Do you mind my asking what mental illness you were healed from?
I believe. I just don't see Christ as a piggy bank granting wishes and riches like some fairytale character.
