What does the Bible say about Elijah's anxiety and depression?

Answered in 1 source

Elijah's anxiety and depression arose from his unbelief and focus on his own failures rather than God's power.

In the account of Elijah, we see that his anxiety and depression were symptoms of unbelief. When faced with threats from Jezebel after performing great miracles, Elijah's faith faltered. Unbelief, as identified in the sermon, is ultimately what leads to symptoms of distress such as anxiety and depression. When believers focus on themselves and their circumstances rather than resting in the grace and power of God, they can sink into these struggles. Thus, the remedy lies in turning to Christ and recognizing His sovereign grace, which can bring peace amidst turmoil.
