Yes because I don't expect every friend of mine to be a licensed psychiatrist capable of diagnosing and prescribing medication. Heck, even a lot of medications use that exact same qualified language in their advertising because the human body and mind are incredibly complicated and inconsistent things.
It's like when I get a cold and my mom tells me to keep my fluids up. It helps and shows she cares even if it's nowhere near as good as antibiotics. And yes of course I already know to stay hydrated. Just like I know how the weather has been and I remember the story she tells me 4 times a year of that time my older sister broke the neighbor's window with a basketball.
Lashing out in anger at those trying to reach out and help you isn't going to make you feel better even if their advice isn't perfect.
