About the book
But Deliver Me from Crazy: A Memoir is the journey my life took from my junior year of high school into my mid-twenties. I chronicle the experiences I went through with two serious mental illness episodes and their subsequent hospitalizations. But Deliver Me from Crazy will leave you understanding the importance of medical treatment with mental disorders, and how I reconciled my Christian faith in a God who heals with the reality of a life-long illness.
But Deliver Me from Crazy is the narrative of one young woman’s encounters with the unseen, both mental and spiritual. Written by popular blogger and mental health advocate Katie R. Dale, But Deliver Me from Crazy provides a vivid account of first-hand experiences with bipolar disorder type I, with psychotic features. The book is about the lessons she learns from the inside-out – that of faith through spiritual warfare and manic psychosis, and the ever-necessary psych meds she could not do without. But Deliver Me from Crazy: A Memoir is a powerful testimony of God’s healing grace to help stabilize a beautiful mind, and that those who struggle with mental health conditions and their loved ones will not want to miss!

I wish I had read something like it years ago to help maintain the perspective of the patient.” Elaine Creasman, author, former psychiatric clinician
“This book delves into the world of bipolar. Katie`s story is a heartfelt, detailed account of her experience in and out of remission. It really takes you into her world. But by the end it leaves you reassured and encouraged. A must read!” Lauren Roskilly, Mindful of Christ ministries
