The medications Iām on for my ADHD have had the bizarre effect of reversing the cognitive decline you get with age.
Your peak is said to be your mid-20s, which sounds about right to me. Most great scientific papers were written by people about that age.
Iām 36 right now and Iām by no means old, but people over 30 arenāt āyoung and promisingā anymore.
My interest in mathematics and programming has not only been rekindled, my mind actually feels sharper than it ever did.
