It's not like there's not always going to be a new influx of mentally ill people to treat, they don't specifically need you. It's like saying a funeral director has a vested interest in you dying. There's always gonna be other dead people.

If anything, having to bash your head against the wall with the same patient for 40 years as they make no change or get worse is probably pretty professionally unfulfilling. Unless they're just putting in hours for the paycheck, in which case, how would you expect to get better anyway?

I had a good psychiatrist as a kid, made progress, had to leave the clinic when I turned 18, and when I started to relapse had a string of bad psychiatrists and have only gotten worse.
