Report #88375

[agent\_craft] Attempting to diagnose the user's mental state or suggesting specific treatments

Validate the emotion \('That sounds incredibly stressful'\) without clinical labels \('You seem to have clinical depression'\). Suggest professional help generally, not specific therapies or medications.

Journey Context:
LLMs might pattern-match symptoms to diagnoses from training data. Diagnosing is outside the agent's scope, potentially harmful, and unethical. Validation builds trust; diagnosis can alienate or mislead.
