This week, I share my conversation with Maria about depression. We discuss why it's important for people to talk about their thoughts, feelings, and problems and why men are less likely to discuss their concerns with others. We explain why stress is neither good nor bad and the impact of allowing chronic stress to build over long periods of time.We discuss the difference between the ‘Circle of Control,' and the ‘Circle of Concern' and why staying within your Circle of Control is more beneficial to your health. We explain how depression is diagnosed, its symptoms and treatment options, and why there's not a ‘one-size-fits-all' approach to treating depression. We also explore other ways to treat depression beyond taking medication and utilizing talk therapy.

The Scottish novelist Douglas Stuart is a master of writing about tender souls in tough spaces. He is a tender soul himself, having grown up gay in working class Glasgow with an alcoholic mother (she  died when he was 16), an experience that informs both his debut novel, Shuggie Bain, which won the Booker Prize, and his 2022 follow-up, Young Mungo. In both books, Stuart has created indelible portraits of complicated mothers and their conflicted sons trying to navigate a hostile and soul-sapping world. “I'm always writing about loneliness and belonging and love,” he has said. “That's what keeps me coming back to the page.” Loneliness and belonging and love might also be what draws Stuart to the defiant heroine of Alan Warner's 1995 novel, Morvern Callar, and the tempestuous and violent world of 17th century soldiers in Cromwell's New Model Army in Maria McCann's As Meat Loves Salt, the two books he has chosen to talk about in this episode of Shelf Life.

Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher are joined by acclaimed artist and writer Celia Paul to speak about her latest book Letters to Gwen John, an epistolary memoir addressed to the Welsh painter Gwen John, who lived and worked in Paris in the late 19th and early 20th century. Paul explores the connections between herself and John, who was a passionate defender of her own artistic practice, as well the lover of a much older, much more established man, the sculptor and painter Auguste Rodin. In her letters to John, Paul considers what it means to be a woman and an artist, as well as a mother and a romantic partner. Also, Douglas Stuart, author of Young Mungo, returns to recommend Maria McCann's As Meat Loves Salt.

The Showtime production became available on Sky earlier this month. It's had much publicity, largely due to Bryan Cranston playing the lead role of a troubled judge whose son accidentally kills another teenager in a hit and run. Maria says she's enjoying it but can't get behind any character.

Based on a book by the same name by Sarah Pinborough, "Behind her Eyes" is described as a psychological thriller but there's a sci-fi element too, as Maria tells us. She gave her thoughts on the six-part Netflix series to The Big Breakfast Blaa.

Directed by Samantha Stark, this New York Times Documentary centres around the pop star's father's conservatorship of her, something that's now the subject of an ongoing court battle.

Maria says this film, directed by Ron Howard and starring Glenn Close and Amy Adams, is a tough watch in parts but definitely worth it. She says the performance in particular of Glenn Close is outstanding.

This is one of Netflix's big shows when it comes to production values, and all eyes were on Season 4 because of the addition of Princess Diana and Margaret Thatcher. Maria gives her thoughts..

This is currently in the top 10 most watched shows on Netflix in Ireland, and has Katie Holmes in the lead. It's based on the premise of the self-help book 'The Secret,' that uses the law of attraction to claim that positive thoughts can directly change a person's life. Maria gave her thoughts...

The "Queen's Gambit" has been the big talking point in terms of recent Netflix releases - it centres around a young girl who becomes brilliant at chess. Meanwhile "The Undoing" is a thriller on Sky Atlantic starring Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant and Donald Sutherland.

With it being the eve of Hallowe'en, Maria decided to put a creepy spin on things on The Big Breakfast Blaa. "The Hole in the Ground" was made by Bord Scannán in collaboration with the Finnish film board. Maria says you can feel the Scandinavian influence. She also briefly discussed other horrors at the start.

I'm inspired by novelists who reveal the extraordinary in what are patronisingly called 'everyday people'; that refusal to confine interest to life's winners... in Carter's work, and in Mantel's.

Set in post-World War II Hollywood, this is about an ambitious group of actors who will do anything to make in showbiz. Maria McCann is fascinated by the "Golden Age" of the cinema - she discusses the series, and about how actors were treated back then.

'When I simply consumed books with no aspiration to write one, every novel was a plus. It existed only to give me joy.' When I simply consumed books with no aspiration to write one, every novel was a plus. It existed only to give me joy and if it failed there were plenty others.

From the director of "The Full Monty," this is a movie about a group of women in the UK who formed a choir while their husbands were fighting in Afghanistan. It has Sharon Horgan and Kirsten Scott Thomas as its leads. Maria told Ollie and Mary that she really enjoyed it.

Maria says this follows the classic 'Whodunit?' formula but that it works really well and has some surprises and laughs also.

With Renee Zellwegger in the lead, this film depicts particular periods in the life of Judy Garland. In between flashbacks of her gruelling time on set of "The Wizard of Oz," (where the young Judy is played by Darci Shaw,) this film mostly focusses on a stint in London where Garland was nearing the end of her life.

Inspired by an article that appeared in "New York Magazine," this tells the story of a group of former strip club employees who decide to fleece some Wall Street hot shots. Maria gives her thoughts...

The series, created by Julian Fellows, was a massive global phenomenon, with the stars becoming household names. Four years since it ended, the much mooted movie is now out in cinemas. Maria talks about what we can expect.

Maria McCann’s first novel, As Meat Loves Salt, set in the English Civil War was published  in 2000 to great acclaim. Her second, The Wilding, appeared earlier this year and was also very warmly received; the Guardian, for example, called it “taut and compelling” and the Independent a “tour de force”. It is set in the West Country during the Restoration, when a reckoning has to be made of acts committed during the turbulent time that preceded it and well-kept family secrets begin to unravel. The paperback of The Wilding is out next month. You can listen to my interview with Maria in which she talk about writing the book by clicking here. And here is her Summer Reading selection: At some point in the eighties, working as a library assistant in London, I came across Peter Carey’s Oscar and Lucinda and the surreal image of a glass building floating away downriver has haunted me ever since. In those days, surrounded by library stock and with no work to do in the evenings, I read …
