1. Do college students need to tell the instructor and other students when they are diagnosed with schizophrenia? In fact, I think it is necessary to tell the counselor about this kind of thing, but whether to tell other students depends on their views on this matter. If they have that kind of discrimination and differential treatment, there is no need to tell them.

If those people don't care at all, you can tell these students. Because you have this symptom, you'd better tell these students. Otherwise, they will think what's wrong with you, worry about you, and even lead them to do something unfriendly to you. This is not good. What serious consequences will happen then, not worth the loss.

Finally, it is your freedom to tell the counselor or not to tell him, which is also your private affair. No one can interfere with you. You can choose to tell them or not, but if you tell them, you should consider what will happen after telling them, or not tell them. You should also know what will happen if this kind of thing is accidentally discovered by them, and you should be mentally prepared.

So, although this kind of thing is a bit odd and not optimistic, it's up to you to say or not, but I think it's necessary to tell others the truth. Because only in this way will you not cheat others, but if you tell others, others will look at you differently, and you don't know if you can stand it. Anyway, it's up to you to talk or not, because it's your private matter, and others have no reason to know and can't interfere, but if they accidentally find out, they will treat you differently, and I don't know if you can stand it.
