A suicide attempt is an act in which an individual tries to kill themselves but survives.^[1]^[2] Mental health professionals discourage describing suicide attempts as "failed" or "unsuccessful", as doing so may imply that a suicide resulting in death is a successful or desirable outcome.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]
