MEDICAL PROFILE
Physically fit for age with no major chronic conditions. Shuttle accident in 2393 resulted in neurological trauma leading to loss of telepathic abilities. Post-surgical restoration in 2394 fully reinstated Betazoid empathic and telepathic function. Psychological rehabilitation successful; cleared for duty.

— Commander Lisa Byrne, MD, Starfleet Medical

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
Initially considered counseling an unoriginal career choice for a Betazoid; pursued science instead. Loss of abilities led to emotional instability, self-consciousness, and mild paranoia, contributing to career setbacks. Following successful surgery and personal recovery, embraced psychiatry as a means to assist others facing emotional trauma. Demonstrates empathy, patience, and strong interpersonal skills.

— Dr. Tessa Shepherd, PhD, Starfleet Psychological Services
