Peak mental health: feeling bad is the cure for feeling good
A vintage-style public health poster from Scarfolk Public Health Council that satirically warns against having a positive outlook or self-worth as symptoms of mental illness. The poster uses retro design with a warm yellow background and illustrated urban scene, delivering deliberately backwards mental health advice that recommends contacting authorities to restore feelings of dread and shame.

POSITIVE OUTLOOK? LOOK OUT!
Irrational, unjustifiable feelings of self-worth, personal integrity, innocence, security and even simple contentment could be early warning signs of a serious mental illness.
Don't worry. This disease is curable.
Recover your natural, melancholic sense of unease, fear and shame by contacting a policeman, your family doctor or council representative.
