'In my experience, it appears many mental health professionals enter the field seeking solutions to their own problems.'
Although that may be true for some people in mental health, thats a bit of an overgeneralization. Being immersed in the world of mental health can be a stressful and dark place to be, which can lead to mental illness - this is the opposite of your cause and effect senario. I was interested in mental health years before I became depressed, and because I only have depression does not mean that I am not interested in other illnesses like schizophrenia and OCD.
