Dr. Wilson links copper imbalances to neurological disorders such as depression, bi-polar, schizophrenia, anxiety, learning disabilities, autism, ADHD, etc. He says it's connected to homosexuality due to copper's role in hormonal balance.

Also,
The overall effect of copper appears to be to enhance all emotional states in a human being. Dr. Eck felt that copper stimulates the diencephalons or old brain. Zinc is needed for the new brain or cortex.This brain is associated with the “higher emotions” such as reasoning, compassion and love.......
Copper imbalances cause cancer due metabolic effects:
Copper imbalance impairs the immune system.......Copper blocks anaerobic metabolism when it is in balance. This can help prevent cancer when copper is in balance, but not when it is too high or too low in the body.
And weirdly,
Is it possible that our mineral balance affects our attitudes? Copper is called the 'love' mineral, the 'intuitive' mineral, and a 'feminine' mineral because it is so important for the female reproductive system. Its level generally parallels that of estrogen. While many factors influence our attitudes and values, the rise in tissue copper levels in both men and women in the past fifty years parallels renewed interest in women’s issues, in religious and intuitive knowledge, and other “new age” and other movements.
Copper may promote or encourage these interests and activities by causing mild tissue catabolism that breaks down old tissues in the body, thus making way for the development of other types of tissues in the body. This sounds very vague, but apparently copper has this type of effect.
