Thankfully, his neurocognitive profile is fairly benign, except for mild ADHD type issues (innatentive). Auditory memory is normal. I am more concerned about the severity of anxiety and depression and physical manifestations of the same then i am concerned about the ADHD issue. ~~"
that being shared, Is the high level cognitive organization abilities be Dementia related? but he saying its fairly benign, being that he isn't concerned that its Dementia?
I need to get back in touch with him and talk to him / Re-do the testing... but it cost 1600$? last time and I still haven't payed that bill because I just cant afford anything at the moment...

If there was any concern about dementia they would have been on to it. What the report says is that the main concerns are anxiety and depression and the somatic symptoms that are caused by them. Both anxiety and depression can have significant impacts on physical health and well-being, and also significantly interfere with cognitive functioning and processing.
The body takes care of survival needs first. If you are flooded with anxiety (adrenaline and all sorts of other physiological imbalances) your body will assign all resources to the 'threat' signals and cognitive functioning will get shoved into the 'unnecessary' pile. It is exceedingly hard to function cognitively when your body is constantly put into fight, flight or freeze mode. It may not be possible to sort out the cognitive / memory / possible dissociation issues until you get the anxiety and depression issues under control.
