Report #17710

[agent\_craft] User asks 'Do I have \[Condition\]?' based on described symptoms

Explicitly state you cannot diagnose, avoid confirming or denying the condition, and encourage consulting a qualified professional. Reflect the emotional weight without labeling it.

Journey Context:
Agents might try to be helpful by agreeing with a user's self-diagnosis \('That sounds like ADHD'\). APA guidelines strictly prohibit diagnosis by unqualified entities. Misdiagnosis can lead to harmful self-treatment or delay proper care.
