Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

     On September 15, 2005, certain executive officers and members of the board of directors of Psychiatric Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) established stock trading plans in accordance with guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company’s insider trading policy. These directors and officers adopted the pre-arranged stock trading plans in order to exercise options and sell a portion of their stock in the Company over time as part of their respective long-term strategies for individual asset diversification and liquidity. The transactions under these plans will be disclosed publicly through Form 4 and, if applicable, Form 144 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission following execution of a transaction. By using the trading plans, the individuals will spread stock trades out over a more extended period of time than the trading windows provided by the Company’s insider trading policy and will avoid being prohibited from selling shares for long periods of time as a result of material, non-public information that they may possess in the future. Because these plans were established well in advance of a trade, they also help avoid concerns about whether these officers had material, non-public information when they made a decision to sell their stock. The Company is under no obligation to update the disclosure included in this report or to disclose the entry into, modification or termination of additional or new plans in the future by the Company’s officers, directors or employees.
