"抗孤" is ok, "抗寂" "抗寞" are too odd :)

I thought of "孤獨大臣", which simulates "minister for finance" (財務大臣); or,

I think you're right:

**“孤独大臣”**

and

> 这个职位，就叫做“孤独大臣”(Minister for Loneliness)。

If you wanted to get *cope with* into the title probably something like

* **抗孤大臣**
* **抗寂大臣**
* **抗寞大臣**

would be more appropriate.
