Materials and Methods: It was conducted with 80 patients in the outpatient psychiatry clinic of a hospital in Turkey. Data was collected with Beck Depression Inventory, Tolerance Scale and Heartland Forgiveness Scale. Data were evaluated using SPSS (21.0) statistical program. Results: In this study, while it was determined that there was a statistically significant negative and moderately relationship between the mean Beck Depression Inventory and Tolerance Scale scores, a weak negative relationship was found between the mean Beck Depression Inventory and Heartland Forgiveness Scale scores.
