He was so disillussioned and decided to live his life with distress as he had no clues what to do? and started thinking about the future of family. He was unhappyand lost hope.He was disturbed because of so many reasons:
No1
 He was not explained adequately about  the chronicity of disesase and role of long term inhalation "LABA & ICS"
No 2
 Every time a new doctor was attending him and there was no scope for a healthy long term doctor patient relationship.
No 3
No proper Inhalation and Device education was provided to him.
No 4
 Importance of home monitoring with a simple Peak flow meter was not stressed upon.
