Hi, this is a great presentation. I have a new student with Tourette's and its additional co-morbidities. Thank you for this! By any chance is there a way to share the slides in a PDF?

Can you get Tourette’s by a vaccine because I did when I was 5 and got my vaccine than a day later I came home doing stuff that’s not normal so we went to the doctor and he diagnosed me with Tourette’s

Tourettes is a genetic condition, it can't be 'given' by a vaccine, because it can't be given. It might just be a coincidence? (I hope this helped! I have Tourette's too, I hope all is well with you💚)

Entering(submersion 3 times with a certain prayer and crossing yourself)in water springs of orthodox saints(which are near or in monasteries)give very much power and sureness to people with depression, panic attacks, Tourette sindrom, schizofrenia and other soul illnesses before getting to the eucharisty that heals all soul illnesses. There are some springs of mother of God Maria that also heal all soul illnesses. Spring at the Monastery of st. Paraskevi at Tempi in Greece is one of many springs of saints in Greece and in Balkans. If you have chronic fatigue it is from masturbating, watching pornography, hate etc. 99% of all illnesses are from soul. Soul illnesses can be enherited or from sins. If you can not go to the church because of the illness you can call the priest to your home to give you eucharisty if you are baptised orthodox. If you can not go to a spring of orthodox saint you can buy sainted water and pour it on your self or sainted oil and apply a little on your fronthead.
If you have diseases, bad luck, impotence, you can only have a discussion with the same person, etc. it can be from witch spellings. In the Zlătari church in Bucharest, every Wednesday at 17.00 it is read the akathist to St. Cyprian and st. Justin against charms and all demons. This akathist can be ordered at any other Orthodox church if you are baptized Orthodox.You must write your name and give it to the person receives the sheets, it is usually at the entrance to the church.
