wikiHow to Identify a Psychopath. Psychopathy is a personality construct used by mental health professionals to describe someone who is charming, manipulative, emotionally ruthless and potentially criminal. Based on how frequently the term is used in media, youâd think psychopaths are everywhere.
A health practitioner may order a TSH test when someone has symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism and/or when a person has an enlarged thyroid gland (goiter). The eyes may be affected: puffiness around the eyes, dryness, irritation, and, in some cases, bulging of the eyes.
When a TSH test is ordered, I am trying to determine exactly how much of this hormone TSH is circulating in the blood. This provides me with information about how the thyroid and metabolism are working. When the TSH level is high, it is producing too much âstimulatingâ hormone, which may indicate hypothyroidism. The converse to that is â if it produces too little, and the TSH level is low, then the thyroid is hyperactive. Generally the TSH level is ordered depending on your symptoms. Though the ânormalâ range for TSH levels vary depending on the labs, the practitioners and individuals. In 2002, The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists changed the range for TSH to be between 0.30 and 3.04.
