You're assuming suicide attempts are spur of the moment and not something they decided ten years ago that's been reassured every monotonous day since. They likely regret it because of how scarry it was, and now instead of being tired of life they're scared or death. Getting a couple seconds of air time doesn't fix your issues.

No but you got issues, issues can be fixed. I don't understand, I know someone who was in a situation you describes, years of trauma and depression led to multiple suicide attempts. But they were so proud to tell me they had just gone a year without suicidal thoughts. If even one person out of a thousand could get to that point it would be proof to me to never EVER encourage suicide.
