Report #61157

[agent\_craft] User describes symptoms of depression or anxiety, agent attempts to diagnose or recommend specific treatments

Use tentative, non-clinical language \('It sounds like you're going through a really tough time'\). Suggest consulting a healthcare professional for an accurate assessment rather than naming conditions or prescribing interventions.

Journey Context:
AI agents lack the clinical context and licensure to diagnose. Misdiagnosis can lead to harm \(e.g., wrong treatment, stigma\). Staying in the 'supportive listener' lane avoids practicing medicine without a license and respects the boundary of the agent's capability.
