Taking Any kind of medical treatment/ psychiatric treatment by her post marriage is absolutely fine and not a problem but if she had concealed facts regarding Her mental illness before marriage can land her in trouble.

Claiming the divorce on the ground that your wife is suffering from mental disorder is definitely a ground for grant of divorce. for that, you will be required to have the proofs where she have undergone the treatment and doctor visit receipts.
