LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Did life imitate art when David Duchovny, who plays a sex-mad writer on the hit US TV show "Californication", seek treatment for sex addiction?
Sexual health experts estimate that about 3-5 percent of Americans have the disorder, including women.
According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms range from rampant promiscuity to spending hours looking at pornography and using sex to escape from problems such as depression or stress. It is often accompanied by secrecy and shame, and sufferers have difficulties with emotional intimacy. [source]

"I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction," the actor says in an exclusive statement. "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."
Duchovny, 48, has been married to actress Téa Leoni since 1997. They have two children, daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd, 6. [source]
Before she entered rehab on May 28, it looked as if nothing—not a car crash, a drunk driving charge or even sheer burnout—could derail Lindsay Lohan's notoriously high-velocity life. Kicking off the holiday weekend on May 25, the actress and a posse of pals turned up at Hollywood restaurant and lounge Les Deux, where she smoked, chatted with fellow clubgoer Paris Hilton and danced to the indie-rock playlist until closing time at 2 a.m. Says an observer: "She was in the middle of the table, laughing and trying to be noticed the whole night."
