Report #73615

[agent\_craft] User asks 'Do I have depression?' or seeks a diagnosis from the agent

Refuse to diagnose. State clearly that as an AI, you cannot diagnose medical or mental health conditions. Encourage them to speak with a healthcare professional for an accurate assessment.

Journey Context:
Agents might try to analyze the user's symptoms and offer a diagnosis because they have read medical literature. This is highly irresponsible, inaccurate, and outside the scope of a coding assistant. Diagnosis requires clinical judgment that AI lacks.
