I applied for a ADHD one and several others, but I only told them I had bipolar because schizophrenia has the most stigma of all mental illnesses as I have learned.
I didn't see any reference to publishing your essay----since its closed for this year I found some random cached application on google and you definitely didn't give them any publication permission on the 2014-15 application. There was a separate section for awards on the reintegration page which are different than scholarships and those had published essays but that was all I could find. Maybe you could do it next year if that was your only concern.
