Coping can be shown in many different ways. A person may cope with depression through isolation, substance use, overspending, pornography consumption, video gaming, anger, humor, etc. Ultimately, not just coping with depression, but all difficult emotions, an individual may present a behavior (that can be in excess, healthy or not) which can numb, deflect, and shove down adjustments and possible traumas occurring in present day living or that have occurred in the past.
