Well .... actually a cry for help would be someone actually saying help ...

True, not all people who attempt suicide actually intend to die. Some of those people do.

For the ones who make a serious attempt and surivive? Chances are that they will try again. Probably within the next year (often within two weeks of discharge from a hospitalization.)

If someone REALLY wants to die, no amount of intervention will stop them.
