Hi I was in your position 13 yrs ago and believe me I wish I'd have told my psychiatrist the truth about my feelings and suicidal thoughts,however I didn't because someone told me I would have my children taken away from me and I believed them.
So now 13yrs on I'm back with a different psychiatrist who is asking why I have never mentioned these symptoms before,I told him and to be honest I don't think he believes me,so I've been taking medication for clinical depression with really bad episodes all these years when now it appears I'm bipolar with BPD. So please tell the truth for the sake of your child as you need to be there for her,and I promise its not like years ago,if anything social services work together with you if you need or ask for support,and they keep families together as much as they can,they don't take away kids unless severe neglect or abuse is present,which of course is not in your case,you can tell by the way you speak of your child.
Please just be honest
Take care
