What is wrong with describing someone as being schizophrenic?
Describing someone as schizophrenic is not using person-first language. Person-first language is putting the person before the disorder, so that you do not refer to someone as being their disorder. Saying that someone is schizophrenic implies that that person is defined by schizophrenia. Instead of saying that someone is schizophrenic, try saying that the person has schizophrenia.

When you have schizophrenia can you freak out?
Depends on what you mean by freak out. There are many different types of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is an umbrella term for different types of schizo-affective disorders. If by freaking out you mean losing control, attacking someone, or attacking him/herself, yelling at people who aren't really there, reacting to imaginary stimuli, then this is usually caused by 2 things:visual, auditory or tactile hallucinationsnot taking medicationsWhen a schizophrenic person takes medication regularly as assigned by a psychiatrist and receives regular counselling, that person very seldom has an extreme episode. When s/he does the schizophrenic is typically more dangerous to her/himself than anyone else although of course a schizophrenic can also be very dangerous.It is usually wise to call an ambulance and remove yourself from a schizophrenic person's company when s/he displays highly disturbing behaviour.
Is being schizophrenic a good thing?
No. Being schizophrenic is not a good thing. A person who is schizophrenic sees things that are not there, hears voices of things that do not exist, and imagines connections that are not real. As a result, such a person strikes out and attacks others. Small children can especially suffer from being around such a person. On the other hand, if a schizophrenic person is willing to take his or her medicine and get it under control and keep it that way, the devastating problems could be turned into assets. Instead of seeing connections that are not there, it becomes possible to see connections that others can not see. Instead of screaming at someone about some crazy idea in the middle of the night, it becomes possible to make brilliant investments. The abilities that are destructive in a schizophrenic can be used to make money if used in a sane person. I have added a link that will be helpful. This is a mental illness that requires medication usually.

If the schizophrenic person was sent to prison and it was determined that the person belonged in a mental hospital instead and had belonged in a mental hospital at the time the crime was committed, then post conviction relief exists through the court system. If it is too late to use the court system, then post conviction relief exists through the pardon system.
