>The brain reaches its full maturity around this age so it's unsurprising any mental illnesses reach their own peak in somewhat of a parallel.

Why would that be "unsurprising"? It's not like mental illness is intuitively correlated with increases/improvements in brain functioning...

If anything, one would expect the inverse: for some mental illness the increase in brain functioning around mid-twenties would somewhat help reduce it.
