Death echoes or more formally known as post-traumatic telepathic imprint syndrome (PTTIS) is a Betazoid psychological and neurological condition in which the Betazoid continues to perceive the psychic imprint of a deceased individual, especially one with whom the Betazoid shared a strong emotional connection. These "death echoes" manifest as vivid sensory or emotional impressions, such as the feeling of the person’s presence, hearing their voice, or even seeing them in familiar places, despite their physical absence.[1][2]
Death echoes are commonly triggered by traumatic or sudden losses, often in environments of high stress such as war or disaster.
Among Betazoids, death echoes are not considered unusual but are viewed as an emotionally taxing phenomenon that reflects the profound psychic bonds formed during life. In some cases, they are seen as a sign of unresolved guilt, grief, or unfulfilled connection.
Signs and Symptoms
- Emotional: Anxiety, grief, confusion
- Cognitive: Difficulty distinguishing between reality and the psychic impression
- Physical: Fatigue, sleeping difficulties
Duration
The duration of death echoes varies. They typically fade naturally over time, but they can persist for months and even years, especially if affected Betazoid is unable to grieve or process the loss fully.
Treatment
Meditation, counseling, or the use of psilosynine inhibitors can mitigate the intensity of death echoes.
