You would divorce her the same way you would divorce anyone, just be aware that the judge may appoint a guardian for her to make sure her rights and interests are protected. Normally, the grounds for divorce is that your marriage is irretrievable broken, which basically means you don't want to be married anymore. In your case, you may have the additional ground of mental incompetence.

I would venture to say that a judge will appoint a guardian to protect her interests. Other than that, it is pretty safe to say it would be just like a regular divorce with the exception of the guardian.
