It's called having a serious, untreated mental illness. It most likely isn't something she has any control of, and the fact that she isn't being treated for this medical condition is as much a crime as anything else here.

Edit: in a case like this, when she's clearly a risk to others, the treatment should be required whether she consents or not. And if there is no treatment that can do the trick, I don't see any solution except involuntary commitment.
