Modern genetics indicate that most mental disorders are a combination of nature and nurture.
Most human disorders are due to a combination of certain genes (there isn't just one depression gene, nor is there one gene that causes anxiety). It is the interaction of these groups of genes and the environment that causes the disorder to arise. Someone can have all the genes of an anxiety disorder and never experience the symptoms of the anxiety disorder, and someone without the genetic disposition to the disorder can develop it.
When it comes to the nature vs nurture question, it's generally a more complicated mixture of them both that cause the disorder or behavior that's questioned.

Difference between nurture and nature?
The "nature vs. nurture" debate suggests that either genetics ("nature") or the environment ("nurture'') played a major role in producing particular behaviors, personality traits, psychological disorders, or pretty much any other thing that a human does. The emerging picture from current research is that both nurture and nature play a role in directing behavior, and the focus has shifted to examining the relative contributions of each influence rather than the absolute contributions of either influence alone. In short, it's the interaction of genes and environmental influences that determines what humans do.
