A member asked:
When should a non-emergency referral for mental health care be issued to a soldier?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When problems show: Referring a soldier for mental health is appropriate whenever performance, behavior, or relationship issues arise. Nipping problems in the beginning is the easiest and best way of preventing mental health crisis. As a provider with the Air Force I saw many who were referred too late --so the earlier, the better. Problematic drinking, relationships, and discipline issues are all good reasons.
