You caught it while she is 8. I won't discuss my experience with parental mental health neglect, but many don't get diagnosed until their 30s or not at all, while their parents gaslight them and pretend/"forget" anything trauma-related ever happened. You will never be perfect, but you can maintain your vigilance.

+1. Therapy doesn't work for everyone, but the earlier, the better. Otherwise, trauma compounds in myriad, unpredictable ways.
