I used to rent out rooms in my house to other college students. Seeing as I was the landlord and roommate, I had a few more options than you do. I only had the occasion to kick out 2 of the maybe 12 roommates I had over the years. But as a former landlord, I would definitely recommend that you talk to your leasing company or landlord. If the three remaining roommates want to stay and can afford to split the rent 3 ways instead of 4, then it will a lot easier to have her taken off the lease. You can add another person back on when and if you decide to. Heck, your leasing company might even know a single renter that is looking to move in with 3 others.
In my opinion, I would not confront her about her potential mental issues. I would just say that the rest of the roommates have met and agreed that she is not pulling her weight and needs to leave. Don't make it too complicated, just give her any easy out. Say that we've talked with the manager and he has agreed to take your name off the lease, here is your portion of the deposit, see you around.
