Hi Tami,
This same sort of thing happened to me as a teen. I think you should have faith in your daughter, and trust your instincts. Plus, what you might not know is that if a doc specializes in bi-polar, you might be more likely to get that diagnosis. They have to have a diagnosis to treat her, for ins. purposes.
If I were you, I'd give my daughter the benefit of the doubt, and get a 2nd opinion. She might need therapy, she might need meds, maybe a combo of both. She sure has been through a lot, my thought are with you.
Anyway, my parents did NOT give me the benefit of the doubt, they blindly trusted the doc, and I ended up WAY worse than when I started with him. I would hate to see that happen to your daughter.
