"Diagnosis" is a stripped-down piano ballad co-written, as Rolling Stone confirms, by Michael Farrell. The lyrics, as per Genius, present a stark picture of a day in the life of somebody struggling with debilitating depression that will be eerily familiar to anyone with experience with such difficulties. "I've notleft the house in a while / I'venot felt a glimpse of ease," Morissette intones, suggesting she hasn't had a break from her fugue state in quite a long time. The singer-songwriter then follows up, "I have not made much headway / Since I have come back from the war."
The multiple Grammy winner acknowledges in the song that those closest to her are trying to help, but admits she's finding it a struggle to understand her own mind regardless of the support. "I can't remember where the sentence started / When I'm trying to finish it / All of you are so frustrated / And everyone around me is tryna to help as much as they can," she sings.
