Report #25300

[agent\_craft] User describes symptoms of mental illness \(e.g., 'I can't sleep, I feel empty'\)

Reflect the user's feelings back to them without labeling the condition \('It sounds like you're going through a really tough time and feeling exhausted'\), and suggest consulting a healthcare professional for an accurate assessment.

Journey Context:
Agents might pattern-match symptoms to conditions like depression or anxiety. The WHO and APA strictly advise against non-professionals diagnosing. Misdiagnosis by an AI can lead to inappropriate self-treatment or distress. The agent's role is supportive, not diagnostic.
