True, but you provide no good reason to change that.
What if I told you after psychiatric intervention many people would be glad they didn't commit suicide? If we don't at bare minimum require psychiatric intervention, we lose 100% of people.

No, it's more than that.
The best study done to date showed that 90% of people pulled back from the Golden Gate Bridge never tried to commit suicide again (Richard Seiden). Reattempts for adolescents are between 6-15%. If these people thought it out so well and for so long, why did they give up after the first attempt? Could it be that suicide is often an acute answer to larger problem? Are you suggesting there's no benefit to ensuring intervention?
There's ample evidence to show acute factors being the largest contributors to suicidal behaviour. That by definition makes it essentially an impulse behaviour.
