All I can say is.. it's none of her damn business! They're only supposed to ask that stuff to find out possible effects on your teeth or interactions with the anaesthesia.
I always hated answering that question, every time I went they'd say.. are you still taking the X and Y? and I'd have a whole new regime of psych meds to report. One technician was kind enough to advise some special toothpaste to help dry mouth that I got from tricyclics, but all the rest just wrote down what I told them.
Er, maybe if you said it was for 'mood disorder' instead of depression that would help? Sounds more medical. Nobody would say 'what are you mood disodered about?' would they?
