As far as depression goes, I would argue that they aren't. The degree to which women are more likely than men to suffer from what is described as depression is the same degree to which men are more likely than women to have substance abuse problems. Sounds to me like to different manifestations of the same problem.
I'm not sure what other mental disorders you're referring to, but I know schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are equally present in both sexes.
