I was diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 14/15. I was vaguely aware of it at the time, and only realised that I was diagnosed with treatment-resistant paranoid schizophrenia this year after peering at my GP's computer screen!
Even though I did lose the diagnosis at 18.
At the time I wasn't really aware of the diagnosis apart from passing comments from my mum or the nurses. No one actually told me.
As said above, it's best to ask your psych outright.
