Are you on any med that is also an antipsychotic - could be a side-effect. Heavy doses of many A/Ds also lead to problems with concentration, which might be what you're experiencing. Some older antihistamines (esp. Benadryl/diphenhydramine) seriously affect speech in excessive doses.
OTOH, I have indeed found sometimes my depression (when untreated or insufficiently medicated) slows all my thinking and body movements down, including inhibiting speech (I believe that's known medically by the rather ambiguous term "retardation").
