Y'know - I stopped someone from offing themselves a few years ago (a stranger in my neighbourhood). He seemed pretty serious about it and was ready to go.
But, I stopped him and for years afterwards I saw him walking around the area with his dog.
I feel justified in doing what I did.

I agree this is how it plays out most times. I fully understand wanting to die if you have some painful, degenerative disease that's not going to get any better.
But when kids and people in their 20s off themselves, it's usually for, as you say, a much more temporary problem.
