A psychiatrist on YouTube said he has worked with extremely accomplished people who are miserable. Thoughts?

He said when they began to live more caring and empathetic lives, their depression went away.

You can't take accomplishments with you.

Joke alert:
A miserly mogul knew he had months to live. He told his lawyer who would be executor of his estate, "Upon my death, liquidate everything I own and stuff the proceeds in to the coffin with my body. I want everyone to see me buried with it." He told everyone he could, that he would be buried with all his wealth.
At the funeral, people looked at the body and saw no cash, no stocks, no gold in the coffin. The coffin was sealed and lowered into the ground. One of the attendees said to the executor of the estate, “I thought he was going to be buried with his wealth.” The executor said, "He was. You didn’t see the folded paper in his hand? I wrote him a check."

It's a bit confusing, accomplished people who are miserable... if I were as accomplished as they are, I would know how to organize my life, and I would be happy.

Thank you for MHO

Perhaps happy people don't accomplish anything. Perhaps it's misery that drives them to make things better.
