"Mental retardation" (failure to develop normally intellectually and emotionally) has nothing to do with "psychomotor retardation" (feeling and acting "slowed down" -- a common symptom of depression, although some people experience psychomotor agitation instead).

Stimulating or activating antidepressants are often the first ones tried for depression with psychomotor retardation. Wellbutrin, Effexor, and Prozac are common ADs to try first (which one is most likely to work depends on other symptoms).
