It makes as much sense to say "I don't understand how pills can take away pain that comes from dropping a hammer on your toe, when the pills can't rewind time and pull your toe out of the way."

Depressive reactions to life events are neither healthy, nor are they necessary. Some people will experience a romantic breakup and they'll think "Damn, this hurts. I'm lonely and I miss my ex and everything seems to remind me of them." That's a realistic reaction to a hurtful life event. Other people, however, will have a depressive reaction that's more like, "Oh God, this pain is going to go on forever. I will never find anyone else to be with in my life, and life will never again be as good as it was. I must be an awful person if X broke up with me and no one will ever want me." That's an unrealistic, depressive reaction.

If you don't see the difference between the two, or can't imagine how medication could possibly help a hurting person think clearly enough to realize the inaccuracy of their depressive thoughts and replace them with more realistic thoughts, I'm afraid it's mostly a sign of your prejudice against medication.
