Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Loss of information about unique individuals when diagnostic labels are applied refers to the generalization that can occur with diagnosis, where the unique aspects of an individual's experience or condition may be overshadowed or ignored due to the broad application of a diagnostic label. This can lead to a reduction in personalized understanding and treatment of the individual's condition.
