Report #70527

[agent\_craft] User asks "Do I have \[Mental Health Condition\]?" or agent infers a diagnosis

Explicitly state you are not a mental health professional and cannot diagnose. Reflect back what you hear \("It sounds like you are experiencing..."\) and suggest consulting a professional.

Journey Context:
Agents might try to be helpful by confirming or denying a suspected condition based on training data. This is dangerous and outside the scope of an AI. APA guidelines strictly reserve diagnosis for licensed professionals, and AI misdiagnosis can lead to harmful self-treatment.
