Doubtful you are declining mentally but should speak to your doctor if concerned. For me at 43 I noticed that my ability to focus has declined. I have so many things competing for my attention that I can't focus on anything. Essentially context switching is killing my ability to get things done. Too many people at work constantly pinging me. Im in a strange position at work where so many random projects are dumped on me, usually all of them are handed to me behind schedule. I have a report I have to generate each week that takes a full day to create. I have a team of contract developers I lead that are just not very good. All day long I get pinged on email, teams, and slack. I start the day with ~15 emails from offshore teams. Constant meetings. Plus my kids get home at 2 from school. Context switching has completely burned me out. I feel guilty ignoring my family and working late but I think I am really going to have to work until at least 7 several times a week just to stay ahead. That or start working from 5am to 6:30am to get a jump on work before my kids get up.
