Bendii syndrom in Star Trek is a rare, usually fatal disease that afflicts Vulcans over the age of 200 by debilitating their emotional control. There is no known treatment.
Early symptoms include sudden bursts of emotion, especially irrational anger. The only way to prove a diagnosis is to grow a culture from some tissue of the metathalamus — a process which takes several days. The telepathic abilities of Vulcans are strong enough to cause the loss of control to be projected onto others in the form of emotional outbursts.
Ambassador Sarek of Vulcan died in 2368 from degenerative complications of Bendii syndrome, as depicted in the episodes "Sarek (TNG episode)" and "Unification (TNG episode)".
In "Death Wish", an episode of Star Trek: Voyager, Tuvok points out that some Vulcans who become infirm with advanced age still practice ritual suicide. It is unknown whether Bendii syndrome qualifies as such an infirmity, although it is likely - since Bendii robs Vulcans of emotional control, which they find highly abhorrent.
