AITAH for telling my friend to search the internet instead of waiting to have money to go to a psychiatrist?

My friend is not living the life he wants, he doesn't like his job, he is overweight, he doesn't go after his dreams, he has a talent for writing for example but never actually writes, instead he just watch movies. It's been like that for years now. He told me he thinks he may have ADHD but he doesn't have money to go to a professional.

I told him that he doesn't need to wait, that the internet is huge, if he thinks he has ADHD then search methods that work for others who has it, read the advices they received from their psychiatrists, read articles, ask something on reddit, try different methods and see what works and what doesn't, like just stop complaining and acting like you can't do anything. He is in his middle 30s, he is always going to rock concerts so it's not like he is poor, for me, he just doesn't have his priorities straight

EDIT: I never said that he should self diagnose, please, read again, I said "methods" like 3 times. I said to search and try different methods, a certain way to use gamify your routine, if he can't go to the gym install an app that makes you "run from zombies", read advices

As a way to learn and also take a possible advantage of my chart, I got the habit of tracking the moon transits (and other aspects when relevant) and it's so interesting, I noticed that every time the moon transits my 8th house, I feel unmotivated and lack energy, for example

I'm curious, do you noticed any pattern like that in yours? (If you track it)
