Setting People Free from Mental Illness—When Nothing Else Works

…by removing the spiritual root behind trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and suicidal thoughts

Millions of people today are battling mental illness and emotional torment—and losing hope.

Over 66 million Americans are on psychiatric medication. Suicide rates are rising. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and bipolar disorder are at all-time highs… and many believers are asking, “Where is the power of God in all this?

Through years of teaching at a Christ-focused ministry and one of the largest addiction recovery centers in America, Beatty Carmichael discovered something most therapists and doctors overlook: many mental, emotional, and even physical struggles have a spiritual root.

And when that spiritual root is removed, the torment often disappears—instantly.

That discovery led Beatty to develop a simple, research-based approach to biblical prayer that’s now seeing up to a 90% success rate in helping people find real and lasting freedom from mental illness—even after decades of suffering.

For every 20 women who attend his classes and go through this prayer process, nearly 18 walk away free from anxiety, panic attacks, bipolar disorder, depression, addiction, trauma, chronic pain, or suicidal thoughts. It’s fast, effective, and life-changing—because it’s grounded in God’s Word and the authority Jesus gives to break spiritual strongholds.

This isn’t therapy. It’s not medication. And it’s not based on blind faith. It’s based on the spiritual laws found in Scripture—and the freedom Jesus promises in John 10:10.

And because this process is highly demonstrable, Beatty is often able to show it working in real time—live on interviews or in front of audiences—where years of torment lift in minutes.

Here’s what Farrah Dawn, host of the Social Disruption show, shared: “I had battled anxiety for nearly 30 years, even though I’ve been a Christian for years. Beatty walked me through the prayer process live during our interview… and it disappeared. Instantly.

If your audience is searching for the kind of freedom Jesus promised—and wondering why they’re still stuck—this could be the breakthrough they’ve been praying for.

Scroll down to watch real stories of transformation—and see how powerfully God is still healing and setting people free when we follow the biblical directive in James 5:16.

Suggested Interview Questions

Bookend Questions (please ask)

  • Intro: You have a really unique background—and your approach to emotional and mental healing is grounded in Scripture. Can you walk us through how God led you to this work, and what opened your eyes to the spiritual roots behind so much of what people suffer with today?
  • Outro: If someone listening today feels hopeless—maybe they’ve battled anxiety, depression, or trauma for years—what would you say to them? And what’s the first step they can take to start finding real freedom?

Discussion Questions

  • You say many people feel stuck in things like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or PTSD—and often lose hope that healing is even possible. Why do you think that happens, especially for believers? And how does a biblical approach change that?
  • For someone unfamiliar with your work, how would you describe the key difference between what you teach and what most people experience with medication or therapy?
  • How does early trauma—especially childhood trauma, neglect, or broken relationships—shape things like depression, anxiety, or emotional instability later in life? And what signs can people look for to connect the dots in their own story?
  • You’ve said this is a Bible-based prayer process with nearly a 90% success rate. Can you explain how you’ve seen that fruit—and why this kind of prayer is so different from what most people expect?
  • What do you say to someone who’s tried everything—therapy, medications, even praying for years—and still hasn’t seen a breakthrough? Why do you think so many prayers go unanswered when it comes to healing?
  • This all sounds powerful—but some people may be skeptical. Mental illness is often seen as something deeply complex. What would you say to someone who thinks, “There’s no way it’s that simple”? And how do you point them back to what the Bible actually says about healing?
  • Since stories often help make hard concepts real, can you share one or two examples—especially with anxiety, depression, or bipolar—that show how this process actually works?

Suggested Introduction Script

Beatty Carmichael is a Bible-based healing teacher who helps believers uncover and remove the spiritual roots behind anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and suicidal thoughts. After 25 years in business, God opened his eyes to a radical truth: most mental and emotional torment doesn’t come from brain chemistry—but from unresolved sin, spiritual bondage, or wounds that give the enemy legal access.

By following the principles found in James 5:16, Beatty has helped over 1,000 people find freedom—often within 24 hours—from struggles that therapy, medication, or mindset work couldn’t fix. This biblically grounded approach has shown a consistent 90% success rate, even in cases of long-term or treatment-resistant mental health struggles.

Beatty outlines this simple, step-by-step method in his book, The Prayer of Freedom, available at his website, ThePrayerOfFreedomBook.com.

Today, he’ll reveal why even strong believers can stay stuck—and how lasting freedom becomes possible when the spiritual root is exposed and dealt with through God’s Word.
