Utah- can I break my apartment lease for mental health reasons?

Location: Utah, I have a roommate that is causing me extreme mental distress. So much so that it has caused me to hospitalize myself and I do not feel safe being in my apartment. We just signed a year long lease and I just don’t know if I can make it through the lease, and I don’t have a second location (like a friend or family) I can live at for free while paying the rent for the apartment. My property managers have told me the only way for me out of the lease is having someone sign on under my name which has its risks, or I can break my lease by paying $4,000 which I definitely don’t have right now. Is there any way I could get out of the lease agreement early? Even my doctors and therapist agree that living with them is not safe for me. Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much for your time.
