Very interesting, and, I must admit, a bit surprising to me.
See:

Black Americans have quite different (and better) statistics for mental health.

The black advantage is actually "larger" if one adjusts for social class.
Could lack of reporting and access to health care be at least partly a factor here?
The one exception is schizophrenia, which that study didn't include and which is much higher in blacks than whites. That's why some of the statistics surprised me.

Schizophrenia is a lot less likely to go unnoticed.
