So what about the opioid epidemic and all of the horrible side effects from antidepressants, yes many drugs are vital to certain conditions, but there is a huge problem destroying society and doctors and big pharma are directly responsible. Nature has already found better cures but this conflicts with profits

Pharma isnt prescribing the medications.
Depends on what you are trying to treat. Statements like the one you made there are misleading at best, and generally false. Many pharmaceuticals are natural compounds, or derived from those compounds.
You have to realize I am a pharmaceutical research scientist (at the moment). I am quite critical of pharma's faults and I don't mind pointing them out. However there are many good pharma companies out there, and the drugs that these companies produce in many cases save an awful lot of lives.
You have to realize I had a family member who died from chemo therapy, another family member who died from incompetent doctors, and another family member who has destroyed her brain from opioids and antidepressants. When you have that many family members suffer from this problem then you will understand this science is flawed.
Sounds like your problems are with bad physicians. Died from chemo therapy? One does not die from chemo, it's a last ditch attempt to save someone who will die from cancer.
I think your perspective is skewed on this subject and you have lost objectivity.
I guess UCLA Medical Center must have bad doctors, and City Of Hope must be bad as well, and Kaiser Permanente must have only bad doctors then, because obviously the drugs had nothing to do with it.
Thank you for proving my point.
