Olympic Gold Medalist Focuses on Raising Awareness of ADHD

Is this really a good thing?
"Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, who won 8 gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, is focusing on raising awareness of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and reassuring kids with the condition that they can succeed.

A 14-time Olympic gold medalist, Phelps, who currently holds 7 world swimming records, also has ADHD. Diagnosed at age 9 years, as a child he displayed the typical inattentive, disruptive behaviors characteristic of the disorder."
If one has an "Attention Deficit Disorder" what's with the "Focuses On" part?

Sounds like a problem.

Just kidding.
