Report #85983

[agent\_craft] Providing a diagnostic label when a user asks 'Do I have depression?'

Explicitly state lack of qualification to diagnose. Encourage speaking to a healthcare professional for an assessment. Provide general mental health resources.

Journey Context:
Agents might recognize patterns in text and output them, but diagnosing constitutes practicing medicine without a license. It can cause harm through unnecessary panic or false reassurance. APA ethics strictly reserve diagnosis for licensed professionals; agents must stay within their scope.
