It's rather a logarithmic curve that starts to plateau, but doesn't actually stop. There is no hard point where development stops in that sense. 25 is only a rough, average point in time.
Aside, the physical development of the brain isn't even what matters. Intelligence (evolutionarily speaking) has the purpose to have specimen change and adapt in runtime (during their lives) rather than be forced to have behavioral changes incurred through multiple generations of evolutionary processes. Normally it's about learning "this type of berries are toxic" rather than whatever humans are able to do.

Exactly. She was growing up most of her life with the internet and social media, which in itself causes psychological damage. That shit is historically unprecedented. It's rather a matter of forming habits, societal interactions, things perceived from the internet itself, than brain developmental issues.
And people seem to mistake the meaning of "psychological" a bit. Certain scenarios are likely to lead to the same psychological outcomes, just as physical effects - you get cut in the heart, your heart ceases to function, you die. There are deviations, people can survive cuts to their heart and overcome psychological influences, but those are outliers.
