They are the same thing.

Maturity is a continuum, a place along a scale, and there are many different kinds. There is no essential difference between "mentally" mature and "emotionally" mature. A person can be mature in, say, matters of business, but behave like a child in personal relationships. Both are matters of emotional and social maturity.

The desirable condition is a level of overall maturity that is appropriate for a person's age. That takes care of the entire picture.
