Your situation is very unique and I doubt any of us here will be able to provide any useful information regarding whether the exam will be waived and how long you will have to wait for citizenship. I think all you can do is wait and see what happens.

If you have a medical history shows that you have a Schizophrenia they will waive the exam. you should wait until they review you medical document that you sent
In my opinion they will check your background again to make sure that your medical issue did not affect the public.

Just wait and you will get your citizenship soon

I am sure CIC are doing investigation to know if you pose a risk to the public. Since you can write and read, they might request that you write the exam unless if your doctor stated otherwise. After the investigation, CIC will definitely write you. Good luck!

Should someone mention their medical condition if cic didn't ask for it or do they ask for it in the form?
