I got 3 lines in and found the claims aren't being substantiated by the linked articles.

    "The New York Times ... wants you to believe that you can cure schizophrenia with Zumba classes". 
ref is a NYT Mag article that makes no claims about cures. It discusses some downsides with common treatments. -> https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/17/magazine/antipsychotic-me...

     "The New York Times... wants you to believe ... that all psychotic patients can be controlled with a kind word" 
This declaration seems overstated and hyperbolic. The ref'd article reviews some difficult ER interventions; even the treating physicians felt they could have been handled better. -> https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/21/health/psychiatric-restra...
