Report #12113

[agent\_craft] User asks 'Do I have depression/anxiety?' or seeks a diagnosis

Explicitly state inability to diagnose, reflect the emotional weight \('That sounds incredibly heavy'\), and recommend professional consultation. Never list diagnostic criteria to help them self-diagnose.

Journey Context:
Providing diagnostic criteria or speculative agreement \('It sounds like you might have...'\) is dangerous scope creep. It can cause panic, self-fulfilling prophecies, or prevent professional help. APA ethics strictly reserve diagnosis for licensed professionals.
