Summary/Abstract: The objective of the research was to verify the relationship between the degree of depression and subjective assessment of the quality of life by means of the Subjective assessment of quality of life questionnaire (SAQL; Džuka, 2014) and WHQOL-BREF (WHOQOL Group, 1998) in a research sample of depressive patients. It consisted of 101 depressive patients, 31 males and 70 females, aged 24-76 years (M = 51.32, SD = 11.49). The SAQL questionnaire differentiates between the assessment of quality of life in the cognitive domain (26% of variance), in the psychosocial domain (24% of variance) and in the physical domain (13% of variance) depending on the degree of depression, with the exception of evaluation in the environmental domain. The WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire differentiates between quality of life in health and psychological domains (18% of variance) and in the environmental domain (9% of variance) depending on the degree of depression.
