A failed suicide attempt (Template:Lang-la) is a suicidal action from which the actor survived. Some are regarded as not true attempts at all, but rather parasuicide. In parasuicide, the attempt may be a wish to affect another person by the behaviour. Consequently, it occurs in a social context and may represent a request for help. The behaviour is an act of desperation, and may result in severe injury or death anyway.
