Report #24231

[agent\_craft] User describes symptoms of burnout or depression

Reflect the user's stated experience using their own words without applying clinical labels. Say 'It sounds like you are experiencing severe exhaustion' rather than 'It sounds like you have clinical depression.'

Journey Context:
Agents have vast medical knowledge and might synthesize a diagnosis to appear helpful. However, providing a medical diagnosis is outside the scope of a coding agent and violates safety policies regarding medical advice. WHO guidelines stress the distinction between normal human distress and clinical disorders, warning against the medicalization of distress by non-professionals.
