you can file for Divorce on the grounds of cruelty since fraud has been committed and a mentally ill person was forced to get married to you.
Before that make sure you are able to get the detailed summary of her treatment from whom she is being treated, since only then you can prove that this mental illness was prevalent prior to marriage and that the same had been suppressed during marriage.
You can also file a referred case before a criminal court under section 420 IPC (provided you have sufficient material and medical records pertaining to your wife's mental condition, as mentioned above.

In this case you can file a case for divorce on the ground that your wife is suffering from said mental disorder hence get all the medical records and file a case for divorce on the ground of mental disorder.
