Brief Answer:
This might be due to persistent depression
Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for providing details
The severe motar retardation might be due to persistent depression. PMR (psycho-motor retardation) is one of main symptoms of depression. She is on 20 mg Escitalopram and if her symptoms are persisting then there is need to add some other antidepressant. Sometimes for resistant depression augmentation with drugs like Bupropion or even Lithium becomes necessity. You can talk with her psychiatrist for this.
This should help to improve her PMR.

Brief Answer:
Aripiprazol might cause
Detailed Answer:
Hello again
Yes even if her mood is ok even then PMR could be due to depression. I don’t think Vyvanse can cause psychomotor retardation but yes she is on Aripiprazole and this can result in psychomotor retardation.
