Summary:Scientific events are important for maturing and debate about science and as such, it is suggested a reflection on a paradigm shift that seems to be taking place, which is mental health is also health vs the previous paradigm called mental health is health. This change occurs, particularly in this post-pandemic context. We are already in the mental health is health paradigm, without which everything else ceases to make sense, or even to exist. Hence the title of this reflective paper: Doctors save lives; psychologists save existences: mental health 5g? Reflecting on the urgency and speed (such as 5G internet) to implement behavioral changes in mental health, this work was presented as a keynote speaker at the 14th National Congress of Health Psychology (which occurred on 8th-10 th of September 2022). It is hoped to reflect and raise some questions rather than answer them. Espera-se reflectir neste artigo e levantar questões mais do que respondê-las. Os eventos científicos são importantes para o amadurecimento e debate da ciência e como tal, sugere-se uma reflexão sobre uma mudança de paradigma que parece estar a ocorrer, que é Saúde mental também é Saúde vs o anterior paradigma designado de Saúde mental é Saúde. Esta mudança ocorre, em particular neste contexto de pós pandemia. Já estamos no paradigma saúde mental é saúde, sem a qual tudo o resto deixa de fazer sentido, ou até mesmo existir. Dai advém o título deste trabalho reflexivo: Os médicos salvam vidas; os psicólogos salvam existências: saúde mental 5g?  Reflectir sobre a urgência e rapidez (tal como a internet 5G) em implementar mudanças de comportamento na saúde mental, trabalho este apresentado como keynote speaker no 14º Congresso Nacional de Psicologia da Saúde (8 a 10 de setembro de 2022).
