Question

it's the first major three categories of coping behavior

Answer 1

"Withdrawal. Beyond regression lies this most extreme of defense mechanisms. Depression sufferers are particularly prone to withdrawal - it's almost a hallmark of the disorder. The subject "retreats into a shell", "gives up", or more technically, ceases efforts to constructively cope with the threat. Indeed, the subject may engage in acts of self-limitation, "burning bridges", right up to suicide. While it may be argued that withdrawal is never exactly appropriate, it's certainly understandable in the terminally ill, the death camp inmate, etc."
