    ....they have to want to be found
    ....people who can't, can be helped
    ....people who won't, can't be helped

    Sad indeed but what often happens with depressed people is that they hide away. Unless they have someone who is very close to them and keeping in touch on a regular basis, it will be a shock when they take their own life. This is the case in many suicides, not just veterans.

    Yes, that is a rough time for many women. Support is needed for sure. :(

    Probably better veteran services and regular appointments for evaluation of PTSD, Depression, Anxiety...preventative care.

    Way better than nothing. Regularly scheduled checkups, support groups, proper medication, maybe even therapist assigned to vet who keeps "tabs" via home visits and phone calls..
