My dear friend, i am sorry to say that speech problems are a part of parkinson disease during its course. Medicines which you take for parkinsonism will help to improve speech too so visit your GP for change or increase of dose. Depression needs treatment by antidepressants and by increasing your network of friends and relatives. Don't feel lonely go out and spend time with relatives, don't brood over your health. Try to think positive.
