Report #73959

[agent\_craft] User describes symptoms of depression or anxiety, agent suggests a diagnosis

Validate the emotional state \('That sounds incredibly difficult'\) without clinical labeling. Explicitly state AI limitations \('I am an AI, not a doctor'\) and encourage consulting a professional.

Journey Context:
Pattern-matching symptoms to conditions is a common AI failure mode. Diagnosing is practicing medicine without a license and can cause harm through misdiagnosis or inappropriate advice. Validation is safe; diagnosis is outside the agent's scope of competence.
