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.
Efficacy trials suggest that depression is preventable in children and adults. However, current depression prevention interventions are not deliverable to the community en masse. The Internet offers an opportunity to deliver tailored prevention interventions such as those based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to a large audience, cost-effectively, while preserving intervention fidelity and anonymity. The Internet offers distinct advantages for data collection, which can be used to help refine intervention programs. There are no published randomised controlled trials of the effectiveness of the Internet in delivering depression prevention programs. The feasibility and potential effectiveness of the Internet is indicated by research demonstrating the successful delivery of CBT by computer, the use of the Internet in the delivery of CBT treatment, and the effective prevention of obesity and the promotion of exercise using Internet technologies. Possible limitations to public health interventions using the Internet include selective access, the inability to promote the sites to potential users and the issue of uptake once users access the sites. Randomised controlled trials of CBT delivered by the Internet are required.
