'''Borderline Psionic Psychosis''', or '''BPP''', affect Betazoids who were born with their telepathic gifts. Having the training as she did as a child numbed some the effects that would transcend into her adult life. Other Betazoids are not so fortunate, having the condition so severely that it would leave their judgment of reality and themselves as an individual impaired. | '''Borderline Psionic Psychosis''', or '''BPP''', affect Betazoids who were born with their telepathic gifts.

Generally, BPP can be classified | Generally, BPP can be classified in phases - ''acute'' (or psychotic), ''catatonic'' (excitable, paranoia), ''disorganized'' (mixed, with a cluster of symptoms that do not inhibit the somewhat organization of oneself), or ''residual'' (mild, no signs of symptoms if otherwise slight). The phases work differently in every Betazoid affected. ''Acute'' patients tend to make their lives in the University of Betazed, unable to screen out the emotions and thoughts of those around them. Sometimes the condition in acute cases can lead to insanity, other mental illnesses and in extreme cases, suicide. | ||
Alana, however, has the'' residual'' version, able to control it with barriers within her psyche. Sometimes wavelengths will break through those barriers, making Alana confused on what her emotions and true thoughts are. This is easily controllable through medication (though these 'dull' the senses to the degree to which Betazoids would be uncomfortable with) and/or psionic inhibitors. The experience with the [[Serpentai]] left some weaknesses, but Alana is overall strong despite the trials and tribulations she endured. | Alana, however, has the'' residual'' version, able to control it with barriers within her psyche.
