My comment:

I like this one best. "fit" connotes something quite strong, as it could be an "angry crying" a "tantrum" whereas talking about "depression" I think spell matches better. Spell implies that is a feeling stronger than yourself, something you cannot help feeling but not necessary a strong crying bout or crying fit, just a crying you cannot stop.

My comment:

It's almost like "crying fit", but I like the sound of this a little better. Much better than "crying attack" which sounds more like Rocky.
