No, MK, I don't think willpower is enough in the case of mental illnesses. Many of them can be controlled by careful use of medications. Schizophrenia in particular is a group of symptoms that does not have a single cause, and one of the possible causes is a disturbance in brain chemistry.
Willpower is also now thought to be a limited commodity that declines over the course of a day, so it can't be counted on to always protect you. (It can, however, be used to motivate yourself to follow recommended treatments on a day-to-day basis, which would be a good example of taking responsibility.)
