Purely mental exertion is hard to show. Sure, you can have a character sweat, strain, and clutch their head as veins swell on their brow. But when a character with Telepathy or other Psychic Powers pushes them to the limit, or when a character is under mental intrusion or attack, or on the losing end of a duel with another psychic, nothing quite exemplifies the terrible intensity of their mental state like a thin trickle of blood oozing from their nose. Exactly how much damage this implies varies from place to place. Subtle cases can have a single drop; exaggerated ones can leak Blood from Every Orifice. Within nodding distance of Truth in Television, as rupture of the capillaries inside the nasal membranes is a recognized (albeit rare, and usually only seen in people already in poor health) symptom of dangerously high blood pressure, such as that caused by extreme emotional stress, physical strain, or (presumably) intense psychic effort. Sudden nosebleeds under stress have been known to precede strokes. Blood from the ears is even more worrying, because it's a highly recognisable sign of head trauma. An early example of the trope was the 1984 film adaptation of Firestarter, in which it's used in place of the original book's far-less-visible "tiny cerebral hemorrhages". However, the first actual depiction can be found in the film Scanners (pictured above), which came out a few years prior. Polite Dissent, a comics blog written by a physician, regularly provides examples of Psychic Nosebleed Zen, which the author has dubbed "epistaxis telepathica." Sometimes overlaps with Deadly Nosebleed and may lead to Power-Strain Blackout if the psychic battle drags on for too long, or if the psychic pushes themselves to exertion. Only occasionally related to Blood from the Mouth. For nasal hemorrhages that are more of sexual than psychic nature, see Nosebleed. For a psychic trope that may result in such, see Dirty Mind-Reading. |

In Abraxas (Hrodvitnon), exposure to intense enough dosages of Ghidorah's Psychic Powers can have a Brown Note effect which can cause bleeding from orifices including the nose in humans. In Chapter 14, when Ghidorah violently makes psychic contact with Monster X, both of Monster X's heads suffer this trope with Blood from the Mouth and extreme seizures. | |

Batman Ninja: Batman discovers that the Joker has lost his memory, restoring him to sanity. As the Joker believes himself to be a harmless farmer, Batman decides to leave him alone, not knowing that the Joker has hypnotized himself as a Memory Gambit. On seeing the hypnotic trigger that reactivates his memories, the Joker starts to bleed from his nose, so he smears the blood across his mouth to create the familiar Joker smile. | |

Nate Grey, Jean's artificial son from an alternate reality, is particularly prone to this as a younger man whenever he uses his powers on a notable scale, thanks to the instability that his creator (his reality's Sinister) built into his genetics (he didn't want his Living Weapon hanging around after it had done its job). It remains, to an extent, after the instability is fixed, though only when he's maintaining cosmic-scale power-usage. | |

X-Men: Jean Grey and Rachel Summers both experience this occasionally. Hardly surprising, since the second is the first's time-travelling daughter from an alternate future. Cable (Jean's clone's time-traveling son from this reality) subverts this on one occasion by bringing himself back from the dead without any problems. Usually, though, he suffers psychic nosebleeds when doing things like inadvertently mind-controlling a continent's worth of people, saving airborne continents from crashing after gravity comes back into effect, or beating up the cosmically powered Silver Surfer in an attempt to burn out his own powers. Nate Grey, Jean's artificial son from an alternate reality, is particularly prone to this as a younger man whenever he uses his powers on a notable scale, thanks to the instability that his creator (his reality's Sinister) built into his genetics (he didn't want his Living Weapon hanging around after it had done its job). It remains, to an extent, after the instability is fixed, though only when he's maintaining cosmic-scale power-usage. In God Loves, Man Kills, a brainwashed Professor X psychically attacks Storm and Cyclops, almost killing them — they're left unconscious, with blood trickling out their noses. In Emma Frost, the eponymous character constantly gets severe nosebleeds as her abilities awaken. Sophie, one of the Stepford Cuckoos from New X-Men, suffers a psychic nosebleed before her death while using Cerebra (the upgraded version of Cerebro). This is a combination of several factors; she isn't a strong enough psychic to control Cerebra and is on the mutant-power-boosting drug "Kick" in order to do so. Combined with her inexperience with the machine, it's somewhat unsurprising that it leads to her death. During the X-Nation arc, Magneto suffers a severe nosebleed along with severe sweating and convulsions as a result of the strain involved when he locks onto the Breakworld missile (which is several light years away at the time) and brings it back to Earth to rescue Kitty Pryde. |

Much of the fiction features serious psychic nosebleeds, taken to typical WH40K extremes. Dan Abnett's Ravenor trilogy, for example, has the loser of a high-level psyker duel get turned inside out, a language that causes considerable bodily harm and the speaker's mouth to shred, and a Blank whose nose bleeds continuously when a psyker keeps trying to get in his head. | |

Max Lord from Justice League of America has a small nosebleed whenever he used his metahuman "push" ability. In Justice League: Generation Lost, Max pushes his powers far enough to erase memories of his existence from everyone on the planet except for Booster Gold, Fire, Ice and Captain Atom. To do so, he has to constantly replenish his blood supply from the massive hemorrhage this gives him. | |

Scanners not only invented this trope, it pushed it farther than anyone has since, where it shows that enough psychic energy not only causes noses to bleed, but veins to pop leaks, eyes to bulge and even pop out, and, in one famous scene, an entire head to explode. There's also a scene where the psychic protagonist is explicitly trained to mess with the opponent's biological functions. After all, it's hard to stay focused if you're having a heart attack or worse. | |

After using Amaterasu and several other similar techniques repeatedly, Sasuke's eye bleed even more and are so bloodshot they look like they're about to explode. While trying to trap the 9 tailed fox inside his Chibaku Tensei meteor, Pain gets a nosebleed from the strain of the technique. When Inoichi telepathically communicates to an entire army of 20,000 at once, he ends up getting a nosebleed. |

It's physical rather than psychic, but in Attack on Titan, this appears to happen to Titan shifters who transform too much or for too long. However, it's unclear whether this affects all shifters or just those that possess the Attack Titan, as it's only shown happening to Eren and Kruger. | |

In the demo for BioShock Infinite, your partner character Elizabeth can actually get a nosebleed from using too much of her psychokinetic powers, as seen here◊. In the final game, Booker experiences nosebleeds when his mind tries to comprehend differences between what he believes about his experiences within the multiverse and what memories he's repressed. | |

In Homestuck, noses aren't normally drawn, but Sollux starts bleeding profusely from his eyes and mouth from the immense exertion necessary to push a meteor quite a long distance away to the Green Sun that had recently been created.

Sophie, one of the Stepford Cuckoos from New X-Men, suffers a psychic nosebleed before her death while using Cerebra (the upgraded version of Cerebro). This is a combination of several factors; she isn't a strong enough psychic to control Cerebra and is on the mutant-power-boosting drug "Kick" in order to do so. Combined with her inexperience with the machine, it's somewhat unsurprising that it leads to her death. | |

Usually, though, he suffers psychic nosebleeds when doing things like inadvertently mind-controlling a continent's worth of people, saving airborne continents from crashing after gravity comes back into effect, or beating up the cosmically powered Silver Surfer in an attempt to burn out his own powers. | |

Usually, it doesn't happen to seers, since they work in "tandem" with their colleagues, sucking the strength out of a colleague who has been transformed into a rat for that purpose; but Ryska doesn't do it, so her power is very draining for her. | |

Mass Effect: Not quite a nosebleed, but biotics with lower-grade implants can suffer things like mental disorders and frequent headaches. Doctor Chakwas says that Kaidan's early-model implant port means he regularly has to deal with blinding migraines. Kaidan himself alludes to the potential for literal nosebleeds when biotics overexert themselves. In the Leviathan Downloadable Content for Mass Effect 3, during Shepard's conversation with Leviathan, we see their nose begin to bleed due to the strain of resisting Leviathan's attempts to control them. |

Lost: This occurs whenever a consciousness becomes Unstuck in Time and is forcibly moved between the past and the future without a constant. Those suffering the effects of temporal displacement experience headaches, confusion, memory loss, nosebleeds, and eventually death by cerebral hemorrhage. A major character has died because of this. Other examples abound on the show when characters willingly or unwittingly screw with the forces literally surrounding the island. |

Oddly, the bleeding always starts somewhere at or above the hairline, raising the question as to just where exactly they are bleeding from. Rather than blood it appears to be some kind of black ichor; Zorg wipes his forehead after the phonecall, and the fluid is thick and oily in appearance. | |

In the Star Trek: The Original Series fanfic Mind Sifter, Commander Spock is subjected to the titular Mind Rape device. His Vulcan Psychic Powers allow him to resist, but the strain it takes is pretty much evident when, after the interrogation is over, he wakes up with his face wet from blood and tears. | |

In Death Star, a marginally Force-sensitive stormtrooper called Nova Stihl is hit hard by the destruction of the prison planet Despayre, the Death Star's first test. Nova woke up screaming and felt like he had heard a million people cry out, all at once, as they were killed. Shortly afterwards the Death Star destroys Alderaan. For that, Nova was awake, but he was knocked unconscious and woke up with a nosebleed and intense muscle tremors. Poor conflicted bastard. | |

Eden: It's an Endless World!: For cyborgs or people with electronic enhancements, hacking into technology results in something like this. However, it's not blood, it's coolant; it's a last-ditch failsafe to keep their brains from melting down by flushing the coolant (it also comes out of their ears and eyes) when the heat dissipation can't keep up any other way than forcefully expelling it from the system. When they run out, their brains cook. | |

In Stranger Things, when Eleven uses her powers, her nose bleeds (when she really exerts herself, so do her ears). She gets them when exerting even a tiny fraction of the force she's capable of and generally ignores them except to wipe the blood away. Kali also does this when she creates illusions and so does Terry Ives when communicating with Jane. By the third season, people start getting worried about Eleven's health after she's been using her powers a lot. In one scene, a large pile of blood-stained tissues establishes that she's been using her powers continuously for some time. | |

In Warhammer 40,000, nosebleeds are a 'secondary indicative symptom of proximal psychic activity'. Specific examples include: Much of the fiction features serious psychic nosebleeds, taken to typical WH40K extremes. Dan Abnett's Ravenor trilogy, for example, has the loser of a high-level psyker duel get turned inside out, a language that causes considerable bodily harm and the speaker's mouth to shred, and a Blank whose nose bleeds continuously when a psyker keeps trying to get in his head. Cadian Blood has the Sanctioned Psyker Seth who is hit especially hard by this sort of thing; one devastating attack he was said to have launched and melted an enemy tank to slag but shattered his teeth and left him in a coma for a week. When in a trance, he is only peripherally aware that his body is convulsing, bleeding, vomiting... This sort of thing is common for nearly all human psykers, save those of the Astartes and most of the Inquisition. As revealed in Betrayer, psychics and the Butcher's Nails did not get along well in the pre-Heresy World Eaters. Angron's proximity caused psykers to start spontaneously bleeding from the mouth, eyes, and nose, while members of the legion implanted with the Nails (Angron included) found the presence of psykers triggered excruciating migraines. Those members of the Librarium unfortunate enough to be implanted with the Nails themselves frequently suffered violent deaths, either from losing control of their powers, or simply getting turned inside out by raw psychic feedback. |

This is a very popular trope with spellcasting characters in Shadowrun, especially common with hermetic mages... or, more precisely, not popular at all with player characters as such, but rather with their players. Considering that the use of one's magical abilities, psychic battles with spirits or astral combat between astral bodies can result in fatigue and even physical injuries, a magically active character can easily overexert himself into unconsciousness or death. | |

In The Butterfly Effect, Evan starts to get nosebleeds after he has several blackouts. Each blackout (i.e., each use of his power) causes worse and worse damage to his brain. This is caused by his Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory kicking in and the memories being physically written into his brain and co-existing with the older sets. After the first couple of times that he fiddles with the past, he gets an MRI and the doctor notes that his brain has all the age-induced scarring of someone twice as old as him. | |

In Gantz, the psychics Sakata and Sakurai get a slight nosebleed when they use their psychic abilities. This is explained as using these abilities pushes their bodies past limits that just shouldn't be pushed, resulted in wearing out their insides in a process that's exactly like ageing: although they always appear to be the same age, their bodies are becoming that of old men by using these abilities. Of course, considering the old man who is the hero's right-hand man, this might not be a bad thing, per se. Later on, when Sakata holds back an enormous alien at the risk of his life to give Sakurai and Reita a chance to escape, he bleeds from the nose, mouth, eyes and ears. Ouch. | |

Firefly: It's never made clear whether the nosebleed is due to Psychic Powers or something else, but the "Two by two, hands of blue" assassins have a Brown Note device which causes a progression of symptoms like this: your nose bleeds a little, your nose bleeds a lot, your mouth bleeds, your eyes bleed, you die. | |

In Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues, Jacob suffers from mental strain whenever he uses his time looping power. This reaches its conclusion when he forces a fire-covered Michal into a short loop, the strain enough to cause a nosebleed. Irene fixes it up for him afterwards. | |

In Freaks (2018), Abnormals bleed from one corner of their eye when they use their power in an intense manner. In extreme cases, they start coughing blood as well. | |

Green Tea Rescue: Izuku's Psychokinesis Quirk is quite useful when he's built it up, but overuse or attempting to lift something heavier than his current limits can result in heavy nosebleeds or even concussions that can put him down for extended periods of time. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: In "Warlord", the titular villain takes over Kes and starts using her psychic powers for his own evil purposes, like putting his minions in their place. This trope ensues; given that the aliens on the receiving end have more than the usual number of nasal orifices, it gets rather bloody. | |

In Fantastic Four (2005), Susan Storm a.k.a. the Invisible Woman suffers a nosebleed when she forms a force field around the ensuing "supernova" her brother Johnny Storm a.k.a. the Human Torch creates to defeat Dr. Doom. This also happens on the Brooklyn Bridge when she first discovers her force-field abilities by containing another (unrelated) fire. In the DVD cast commentary, Jessica Alba mentions that she liked the idea, since it shows how much she's pushing herself. | |

Babylon 5: The obvious source of Touched by Vorlons has Lyta Alexander, who winds up with bleeding, black-socketed eyes. A variant: when Lyta forces Bester out of her mind in the fourth season, he reacts as if punched in the jaw. In another confrontation, Bester hypothesizes that Lyta can't take his entire team at once, since she is sweating after pushing back two. She replies that if she pushes too hard, she might pop someone's blood vessel and cause them brain damage. Posturing ensues. |

The Witcher: Visenna gives herself one after overexerting herself healing Geralt in Sword of Destiny. In Tower of the Swallow, Joanna Selborne a.k.a. "Kenna" finishes giving testimony to the tribunal at the Citadel in Nilfgaard regarding her defection from Stefan Skellen's gang due to disaffection with his obsessive goal of capturing Ciri. Just as the judge is about to order the guards to take her back to her cell, she successfully uses her telepathic powers to have him order her released instead so she can be a free woman. She then surreptitiously wipes away her nosebleed, smiles and thanks the judge with a bow. |

While not bloody, Niko from Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers has, on several occasions, exerted herself to the point of collapse. The first example is in "New Frontier" — while attempting to detect Eliza's location, the Queen intrudes into the vision and rather violently pushes back. | |
