Can I quit without notice if my work environment is toxic?

I started a new part-time job a couple of months ago. However, it’s not really working out and I feel like the work environment is toxic.

They were not accommodating and essentially said this is normal for the area. Honestly, this job has taken such a toll on my mental health and I’m about ready to leave… there’s only 1 problem: my contract says I need to give 1 months notice. However, I was wondering if this would matter if I was experiencing mental health problems due to a toxic work environment. Any advice is appreciated.
