Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness in which people experience hallucinations and delusions. Reasons for happening schizophrenia are genetics, occur in a family, and it is heritable in nature. It can happen due to inappropriate development of the brain, due to complications at the time of birth, due to intake of drugs and an increase in the stress level in the environment. T o diagnose critical psychological disorders like schizophrenia, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is widely used. T his technique measures the indirect neural activity of the brain tracing the oxygenation level of the blood flow. Resting-state fMRI measures the same in the rest condition of the patient while doing no cognitive task. In this review article, firstly, we describe schizophrenia and a brief description of its occurrence, cause, symptoms, and treatment. Secondly, we describe the fMRI technology followed by the resting-state analysis and finally, we describe briefly the methods of data analysis to diagnose schizophrenia with resting-state fMRI. T his review article may act like a start-up for the research in this domain.
