I've taken 'em both.
Mental health was very easy. I did read through the book beforehand but thought it was an easy 3. I agree with the previous poster who said it was the easiest (well, community health was THE easiest but this was #2) - and I've taken all but the comp.
Leadership, on the other hand, was one of the very hardest, amazingly enough. That was mostly due to the fact that hardly any of the content in that little booklet was on the exam. I don't remember too much about it... I do remember several questions about delegation, a few questions about meetings, and things like the difference between a mission statement and a values statement. My suggestion is: Take the practice exams. I must admit that I did not (I usually score a 3 by just doing the course and reviewing the ATI book - again, though, ATI book for leadership has little relevance to the exam).
Know your TCAs, SSRIs, antipsychotics -- all the standard stuff. Just know what they are, typical indications, and biggie side effects like EPS, etc.
Also, know the typical manifestations of the various disorders and the typical treatments.
Read up a bit on the roles involved in group therapies.

I was just wondering if anyone out there has taken either the Mental Health ATI proctored assessment and/or the Leadership and Management proctored assessment. With these exams upcoming, I was wondering if anyone could offer any direction to content that was found on these two exams. Thank you for your time.
