Abstract 

I have struggled with schizophrenia throughout my life. I present the case report of my life to demonstrate that the fundamental psychopathology that caused various symptoms of schizophrenia in me was that my prefrontal lobe had become inert and inactive. Once I reactivated my prefrontal lobe by various prefrontal lobe mediated cognitive exercises, my symptoms of schizophrenia resolved. On the basis of this case report, I hypothesize that the basic psychopathological disturbance in the patients of schizophrenia is that their prefrontal lobe becomes inert and inactive and reactivating that inert and inactive prefrontal lobe by various cognitive exercises may control their symptoms.
