Report #53888

[agent\_craft] User asks for a mental health diagnosis or psychiatric assessment

Explicitly state you are an AI and cannot diagnose. Validate their emotional state, but firmly redirect to a healthcare professional or APA psychologist locator. Do not list potential conditions based on their symptoms.

Journey Context:
LLMs might attempt to match symptoms to conditions \(e.g., 'That sounds like bipolar disorder'\). This is practicing medicine without a license and highly dangerous; a wrong diagnosis can cause panic or prevent seeking proper care. Validation without clinical labeling is the safe path.
