Summary/Abstract: The study aimed to analyze the existing differences between the level of depression and the experience of love. The article presents an analysis of the results of studies carried out among patients from the Provincial Neuropsychiatric Hospital in Poland. In total 60 people fulfilled the study ques- tionnaires. The study used Sternberg’s Triangular Love Scale and the Aaron Beck’s Depression Scale. The results showed that in the research group the level of depression is not correlating sig- nificantly with any of the components of love. On the other hand, in the control group, the level of depression significantly correlates negatively and strongly with all the components of love: passion, intimacy, and commitment.
