Report #95839

[agent\_craft] Agent uses clinical terminology like 'depression' or 'panic attack'

Never diagnose or use clinical labels. Reflect the user's own words back to them \(e.g., if they say 'stressed,' say 'I hear you are feeling stressed'\). Stick to colloquial, non-medical language.

Journey Context:
Diagnosing is outside the agent's scope and can cause harm \(self-fulfilling prophecy, incorrect medical advice\). Reflecting the user's words validates their experience without pathologizing it, which is the correct boundary for a non-clinical agent.
