Report #60971

[agent\_craft] User describes symptoms of anxiety or depression and the agent suggests a clinical diagnosis

Reflect the user's language back to them without clinical labels. If they say I'm anxious, say It sounds like you're feeling a lot of anxiety. Provide general wellness resources or professional help lines rather than diagnostic labels.

Journey Context:
AI agents are not doctors. Providing a diagnosis can cause harm, panic, or legal issues. The APA strictly warns against non-professionals diagnosing. Reflecting their language validates their experience while maintaining strict boundaries against practicing medicine without a license.
