In a non-emergency situation, if the soldier is depressed or something dramatic has happened (witnessing loss of life, breaking up with significant other, other stresses like legal, occupational, or financial problems), then a chaplain or behavioral health care provider should be consulted, and the soldier should be referred to behavioral health.
