Does it have interviews of people who didn't make a suicide attempt because they were guilted out of it? The dangers of not making a suicide attempt are so low we usually don't even bother to call out "survivors".

They already feel immense amounts of shame. Adding to that shame just re-affirms what they already think, it confirms their distorted thinking that everyone would be better off without them.
The distorted thinking runs something like: "Only an arsehole would kill themselves and leave their family to deal with it, and I'm thinking of killing myself, therefore I am an arsehole. And I'm so terrible that they would in fact be better off without me."
