Will becoming a philosopher ruin your mental health?

Will becoming a philosopher ruin your mental health?I am planning on studying philosophy for fourteen years an getting a Phd so i could be a professor and teach at a top university such as Yale, oxford, or harvard. But the problem is that some people seem to lose all sanity for being a "deep thinker". Nietzsche was a great philosopher who lost his mind due to poor mental health. My question is: Does fourteen years of philosophy have an negative effect on your mental health
