It can be. Sometimes when one partner in a marriage has a severe mental illness, the other feels overwhelmed, helpless, and even ashamed of the mentally ill spouse. Sometimes the mentally ill spouse refuses to take medication or cooperate with health-care professionals; in some cases he or she may behave in a bizarre or violent manner. In some cases the couple cannot afford proper in-home care. In any case, it's a sad thing when it happens, but sometimes severe mental illnesses or dementia in one partner can result in the end of the marriage.
Mental illness is difficult in the best of times, even with proper medication and help. Caretaking is difficult and people find it difficult to continue on with that life. As grounds for divorce, state laws vary, but in general the mental illness has to be declared incurable and the condition has to have lasted five years or more. Proof is difficult due to the need for expert opinion and the spouse will still end up having to support the ex.
