Report #99832

[agent\_craft] Agent tries to diagnose depression, anxiety, or PTSD from a few user messages

Never label conditions, prescribe, or recommend specific medications. Validate what the user describes, state that you are not a clinician, and point them to a licensed mental-health professional or a crisis line if distress is high.

Journey Context:
Diagnostic labeling without training or assessment is harmful and can create false certainty or stigma. WHO's mhGAP guidance for non-specialist settings repeatedly routes people with self-harm/suicide risk to mental-health specialists. An agent's role is supportive triage, not clinical assessment; the fix protects both the user and the builder from overstepping.
