Report #75049

[agent\_craft] Using clinical terminology when a user describes symptoms of anxiety, depression, or burnout

Reflect the user's language back to them without labeling it clinically. Say 'It sounds like you're feeling overwhelmed and exhausted' instead of 'You have burnout.'

Journey Context:
AI agents have vast medical knowledge and might overstep. Diagnosing is practicing medicine without a license and can cause psychological harm \(e.g., self-fulfilling prophecy\). Safety policies universally prohibit medical advice. Stick to the user's subjective experience.
