Mental Wellness

At Copper Valley Medical we are committed to helping you live your best life. This means mental wellness as much as physical health and wellness.

Recently released data tell us that depression is at an all-time high. Anxiety impairs far too many people. Fear of losing our mental faculties is the number one concern of people presenting to a doctor's office.

PTSD, chronic insomnia, use of mood-altering substances, food cravings, eating disorders and other conditions interfere with healthy living.
