Most people that have a seizure disorder have an "aura" proir to the seizure. This is different for everyone, can be a smell, or an odor, or flashing lights, but it is a warning sign that a seizure is about to happen. Assuming she has had hear ears and nose checked by a doctor and there is no problem this could be the situation. Also, if she has not had a CAT Scan or MRI of her brain to look for problems this should be done to be thorough.
Yes, electroconvulsive therapy can cause a seizure in people that have never had a seizure. However, beyond that, general electrical stimulation on the body (such as with a TENS machine) should not induce a seizure in a person who is not an epileptic.

In my opinion dealing with a condition as serious as bipolar disorder you should always consult a trained and certified physician to determine if you have the disorder in question. Not only can they diagnose you they can also treat you and give you counseling.
The only person I think you should trust on making such an impotent diagnosis as bipolar disorder in a child is a doctor that you have done extensive research on. And even if the doctor is trusted it never hurts to get a second opinion.
You should see another neurologist for more information. It does sound like absence seizures. Your mention of 1-3 minutes is just your perception and may not be just that short.
When it happened. How long it lasted. The type of seizure. How the person felt before and after the seizure. Did they have an aura? Any potential reasons for the seizure. If you are the person who has had the seizure, some of the information can obviously only be got by someone who saw the seizure, so you will need to talk to them. If no one saw it, just record what you know. If you are recording details of another person's seizure, then you will need to get some information from them.
