No, he says "I submit that Mr. McGill's mental illness is a non-issue. If he were schizophrenic it wouldn't take away from the fact that the defendant..." before Chuck cuts him off.
He was comparing Chuck's electro-magnetic sensitivity to a mental illness like schizophrenia, while Chuck has always maintained it is a real, physical ailment. Thus the outburst of "I AM NOT CRAZY!" Even though with the battery in his pocket for over 90 minutes without him feeling it, it proved that his ailment is mental. That's when he lost it.
So yes he made a mistake in calling Chuck's ailment a mental illness, but he was not implying that Chuck had schizophrenia.
