(November 11, 2002) - Psychiatric Solutions, Inc. ("PSI") (Nasdaq: PSYS) today announced financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002. For the third quarter, revenue was $32,280,000, an increase of 224.6% from $9,944,000 for the third quarter of 2001. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was $3,695,000, up 147.5% from $1,493,000. Income from continuing operations for the quarter increased 104.8% to $1,606,000 from $784,000 for the third quarter of 2001. Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations rose 46.7% to $0.22 for the third quarter of 2002 from $0.15 for the comparable period last year. For the first nine months of 2002, revenue increased 220.9% to $78,090,000 from $24,338,000 for the same prior-year period. EBITDA rose 129.7% to $8,896,000 from $3,873,000. Income from continuing operations for the latest nine months increased 110.3% to $3,218,000 from $1,530,000 for the same period last year. Income from continuing operations per diluted share for the quarter was $0.54, up 74.2% from $0.31 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2001. PSI's fully taxed pro forma net income, excluding nonrecurring items, was $2,819,000, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2002, and pro forma EBITDA was $11,883,000. Fully taxed pro forma results assume both that PSI's mergers with PMR Corporation and with Riveredge Hospital, which were effective August 5, 2002 and July 1, 2002, respectively, were effective January 1, 2002, and that PSI paid income tax using an effective rate of 40%. The nonrecurring items include a nonrecurring gain of $1,964,000 ($1,178,000 after tax) in recoveries of allowance for doubtful accounts from PMR's collection of fully reserved accounts receivable and a nonrecurring gain of $609,000 ($365,000 after tax) related to PMR's sales of assets prior to the merger with PSI. For more information on PSI's pro forma results, please see Unaudited Pro Forma Results on page 3. Commenting on the announcement, Joey Jacobs, president and chief executive officer of PSI, said, "We are pleased to report significant profitable growth for the third quarter of 2002. Consistent with our strategic objective of becoming a leading provider of inpatient psychiatric services, the increase in our third-quarter revenue was primarily driven by the expansion of our hospital business to five freestanding psychiatric hospitals at the end of the third quarter from two at the same time in 2001. Having completed the purchases of two of these hospitals on September 1, 2001, one on November 1, 2001, one on December 1, 2001, and one on July 1, 2002, we anticipate that our results for the fourth quarter will also benefit from full-quarter operation of the five hospitals relative to the comparable quarter last year. -MORE- PSYS Reports Third-Quarter Results Page 2 November 11, 2002 "Based on PSI's performance for the third quarter and year-to-date, as well as our expectations for the fourth quarter, we reaffirm our previously announced guidance for full-year 2002 pro forma earnings per diluted share, excluding nonrecurring items, of $0.40 to $0.48, assuming no additional acquisitions of psychiatric hospitals. We also continue to expect growth in earnings per diluted share for 2003 in excess of 15%, also assuming no additional acquisitions. We intend to achieve these estimates primarily by producing internal growth within our existing hospital operations. As we have begun to demonstrate with our initial hospital acquisitions, we believe we have significant prospects for expanding revenue and profit at these facilities through introducing new programs, implementing enhanced marketing and attracting additional physicians to the facilities. In addition, we also expect to selectively grow our psychiatric unit management business through new contracts with general acute care hospitals. "While our guidance for 2002 and 2003 excludes the impact of additional psychiatric hospital acquisitions, we are continuing to pursue a focused external growth strategy designed to expand our ownership of psychiatric hospitals through acquisitions. We believe the industry environment - with a large population of insured beneficiaries in the U.S., increasing demand for psychiatric services and rising reimbursement rates - remains favorable for further industry consolidation. We also believe PSI has the management capabilities and financial position to continue to implement its acquisition strategy as the primary vehicle for achieving its long-term goal of becoming the country's leading provider of inpatient psychiatric services."

FRANKLIN, Tenn. (November 11, 2002) - Psychiatric Solutions, Inc. ("PSI")
(Nasdaq: PSYS) today announced financial results for the third quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 2002.

         For the third quarter, revenue was $32,280,000, an increase of 224.6%
from $9,944,000 for the third quarter of 2001. EBITDA (earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization) was $3,695,000, up 147.5% from $1,493,000.
Income from continuing operations for the quarter increased 104.8% to $1,606,000
from $784,000 for the third quarter of 2001. Earnings per diluted share from
continuing operations rose 46.7% to $0.22 for the third quarter of 2002 from
$0.15 for the comparable period last year.

         For the first nine months of 2002, revenue increased 220.9% to
$78,090,000 from $24,338,000 for the same prior-year period. EBITDA rose 129.7%
to $8,896,000 from $3,873,000. Income from continuing operations for the latest
nine months increased 110.3% to $3,218,000 from $1,530,000 for the same period
last year. Income from continuing operations per diluted share for the quarter
was $0.54, up 74.2% from $0.31 per diluted share for the first nine months of
2001.

         PSI's fully taxed pro forma net income, excluding nonrecurring items,
was $2,819,000, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2002,
and pro forma EBITDA was $11,883,000. Fully taxed pro forma results assume both
that PSI's mergers with PMR Corporation and with Riveredge Hospital, which were
effective August 5, 2002 and July 1, 2002, respectively, were effective January
1, 2002, and that PSI paid income tax using an effective rate of 40%. The
nonrecurring items include a nonrecurring gain of $1,964,000 ($1,178,000 after
tax) in recoveries of allowance for doubtful accounts from PMR's collection of
fully reserved accounts receivable and a nonrecurring gain of $609,000 ($365,000
after tax) related to PMR's sales of assets prior to the merger with PSI. For

the fourth quarter will also benefit from full-quarter operation of the five
hospitals relative to the comparable quarter last year.

         outstanding.
