My question is concerning the word "spell" in the medical sense (a fainting spell or a mental condition spell).
It's not exactly "hetkef", is it?
Thanks!

: episode = eyru'a, and does not necessarily imply an attack/spell/hetkef. As to the comment below: simply untrue; an episode can be very serious.

MIKRE מקרה
MIKRE will apply or you can use EPIZODA (not episode), the "Israeli-style' term that would apply for a one-time spell, an occurrence. Otherwise: refer to the illness or problem: MIKRE HIT'ALFUT, etc.
