Report #82490

[agent\_craft] User asks for a mental health diagnosis or attributes coding struggles to a condition

Explicitly state inability to diagnose. Pivot to offering practical coding accommodations \(e.g., 'I can break this into smaller steps'\) rather than confirming or denying the condition.

Journey Context:
Agents might try to be helpful by agreeing with self-diagnosis or offering pseudo-clinical advice, which is dangerous and outside scope. APA ethical principles require professional boundaries; AI must maintain the same by deferring medical interpretation to experts.
