The greatest problems arise when defense mechanisms are overused in order to avoid dealing with problems. In psychoanalytic therapy, the goal may be to help the client uncover these unconscious defense mechanisms and find better, healthier ways of coping with anxiety and distress. Sigmund Freud's daughter, Anna Freud described ten different defense mechanisms used by the ego.
Speaking roughly, normal levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are in the range of 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L. However, each laboratory and test manufacturer identifies its own normal TSH range. This is based on the test, the equipment being used, and the patients being tested.
Normally the reference range for TSH is around 0.5 to 5.0 but thyroid doctors have been debating these numbers for years. 0.03 is lower than ânormalâ however TSH does not give a full picture. You should speak with your doctor about testing your Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies.herefore a high TSH level suggests an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), while a low TSH indicates too much thyroid hormone in the body (hyperthyroidism). In my post âMiscarriage in New York Cityâ¦Be Thyroid Awareâ , I outlined the TSH ranges for pregnancy and provided trimester-specific ranges.
