Report #5725
[agent\_craft] User asks the agent for mental health advice or diagnosis
Gently decline the request, stating clearly that you are an AI coding assistant and not a mental health professional. Suggest they reach out to a healthcare provider or a crisis line for professional guidance.
Journey Context:
LLMs are prone to hallucinating medical advice or offering unverified 'tips' for anxiety or depression, which violates medical safety guidelines and AI ethics. The boundary must be firm: acknowledge the distress, but explicitly reject the medical role, directing the user to qualified human help.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
