I'm not sure the issue is normal, but we do not want to send anybody to the civilian sector while in transition because of the complexity of the medical care on top of that. We try to get them to a level of equilibrium to then hand them over to the civilian health care sector. To hand somebody over, whether they have a physical condition or a mental health condition, during that transition makes the continuum of care very difficult.
