Question: Hi, thank you for doing this. I'm 28f and currently seeking assessment.   
  
  
  1. Why do I find it so much more difficult to do something after someone has asked me to do it? Everything from the dishes to filing taxes?
  2. As an adult to what extent can I hope to mitigate my symptoms, on and off meds? Can I train my brain to fight back with CBT, for example?  
  
  
  Thanks again.
Answer: 1.  It may be that you find the task less rewarding if someone else asks you to do it.  But that is the kind of issue you'd need to seek advice about from a therapist.
  2. General advice is to always take meds as prescribed.  CBT has been shown to be helpful but it works best if patients are also taking medication.
