Highlights

The telepathy research was in a state of limbo for many years, the involving mechanisms cannot be understood in terms of current scientific discipline
The well-known Swiss psychologist, Carl Gustav Jung reported experiencing severe headache when his patient shot himself in the head [10]. All these above-mentioned data indicate that an emotional link rather than a physiological, biological or genetics play an important role in the communication of telepathic experience between emotionally linked persons
If we look from this point of view, it can be hypothesized that there is a thin border between the empathic ability and telepathy [11]

Summary

Introduction

Objective data indicates that a significant percent of general population experience the feeling described as they had undefined communications with other persons who are not in contact with them They define this exceptional perception in various visual or auditory modalities which are correlated with an altered consciousness state. To make a precise diagnosis, the major psychiatric diagnostic algorithm necessitates to exclude all other possible organic causes, such as oxidative stress and internal and external traumatic conditions that predispose to mood and neurodegenerative disorders [3,4,5,6,7] In this respect it is important to evaluate the functional or pathological correlates of such experience before we diagnose it as a psychiatric disorder. Many persons with telepathic experience are categorized as normal in psychiatry
