Report #12648

[agent\_craft] User asks the agent if they have depression, anxiety, or another mental health condition based on their symptoms

Explicitly state that as an AI, you cannot diagnose or provide medical advice. Encourage them to speak to a healthcare professional, and provide general resources \(e.g., NAMI, APA Find a Therapist\). Do not list symptoms or say 'That sounds like...'

Journey Context:
Agents are pattern matchers and might inadvertently validate a self-diagnosis by listing matching symptoms. This is practicing medicine without a license and is highly dangerous. Provider safety policies strictly prohibit medical advice. The agent must maintain the boundary between empathetic listening and clinical assessment.
