NEW YORK, NY, Oct. 8, 2009 (Marketwire) --

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 10/08/09 -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC announces that a class action has been filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee on behalf of those who purchased or otherwise acquired stock of Psychiatric Solutions, Inc. ("Psychiatric Solutions" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PSYS), during the period between February 21, 2008 through and including February 25, 2009 (the "Class Period").

The Complaint charges the defendant with violations of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 by issuing materially false and misleading statements concerning the Company safeguard and controls over its operations. Defendants downplayed incidents at the Company facilities, falsely indicating that the deficiencies had all been resolved, falsely assuring investors that corrective actions had already been taken at the Company's facilities to improve the quality, safety and risk management, and failing to properly account for its contingent liabilities related to the deficiencies surrounding its operations in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. According to the complaint, after this previously undisclosed information was revealed, the value of Company's stock declined significantly.

No Class has yet been certified in the above action.
