I believe not only athletes, but celebrities in general seem to have a higher rate of problems than the general population does. Just being a celebrity itself, with the schedules, lack of privacy, and fear of failing can cause many of the problems. And while I do understand that they are "looked at under a microscope", and thats why we all seem to know so much about their individual lives when there are problems, I still think if you were checking this by percentages, you would see a higher rate among those in the public eye.

I do think that is the price you pay for celebrity status. If you can't handle constant pressure and loss of privacy, get a different job.
