I don't see what bearing being an "ex-crazy" would have on your career plans. What will your degree be in? What careers do people with your major generally pursue? Sure, counseling can be good if it's something you'd like to do and if your degree is relevant. But so can programming or finance or sales or teaching or designing video games or anything you are interested in and skilled enough to do.
You need not and probably should not tell any potential employers about your mental health challenges. If you need to explain gaps in your resume, simply say you were ill, but have now recovered or say you were traveling through Asia or whatever.
