Halfway to Sanity is the tenth studio album by American punk band the Ramones. It was released on September 15, 1987. It was the last album to feature Richie Ramone and the last album to feature Dee Dee Ramone's bass playing (although he was credited on the following album Brain Drain, he did not actually record any bass). Halfway to Sanity features the songs "I Wanna Live" and "Garden of Serenity", which were later remastered on the Ramones compilation Loud, Fast Ramones: Their Toughest Hits. "I Wanna Live" was also on the soundtrack to the 2006 video game Tony Hawk's Project 8.
Debbie Harry of Blondie provides backing vocals on "Go Lil' Camaro Go", and Dee Dee Ramone sings lead vocals on "I Lost My Mind".
