> I'd think that people that want to kill themselves very much would try again until they succeed No, this is a myth. Clearly there are differences in suicidality. Some people self harm frequently and severely for years before dying. Other people experience "rapid onset despair" and make an attempt. Recovery is possible for both groups. Most people who attempt suicide do not make another attempt. There's probably some data in the English NCISH reports here: https://sites.manchester.ac.uk/ncish/ https://sites.manchester.ac.uk/ncish/ (Also, I'm not trying to police your language. Use whatever words you like. But if you're talking to suicide researchers you may want to avoid "sucessful" or "failed" suicide, and use "died by suicide" or "killed themselves" (both for the UK) or "completed suicide" for the US.)
