The doctor recognizes that Lady Macbeth's problems are mental, not physical, and that psychiatric science had not advanced so far that he could treat it. He cannot "minister to a mind diseas'd"; "therein the patient must minister to himself."

Lady Macbeth
Lady Macbeth pushes Macbeth to kill Duncan in act 1. She is stronger and more manly than Macbeth.
Macbeth wrote Lady Macbeth a letter describing his encounter with the witches. Lady Macbeth reads it out at the beginning of Act I Scene 5
Act I.7 line 35
In Act 1, Lady Macbeth is the planner, the one who is dragging her reluctant husband into committing one murder. But by Act 4, Macbeth commits murder after murder and Lady Macbeth is the reluctant one, nauseated and consumed with guilt by the bloodshed. The roles actually reverse much earlier in the play, when Macbeth kills the grooms. That was not in Lady Macbeth's plan, and she is horrified by it.

In Act 3, Scene 1 of Macbeth, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth exhibit a mixture of apprehension, ambition, and a growing sense of paranoia. Macbeth is increasingly consumed by his guilt and fear of losing power, while Lady Macbeth struggles to maintain control over their destiny despite their mounting troubles.
A pretty tough lady.

In Act 5 of Macbeth, "flu" refers to a contagious illness or disease, similar to the modern term "influenza." In this context, it represents the sickness that Lady Macbeth is suffering from as a result of her guilt and remorse over the crimes she and Macbeth have committed.
In Act 2 Scene 1, Macbeth is onstage and Lady Macbeth is not. I think Macbeth in Act 1 Scene 5 is heading back to his castle called "Inverness" to talk to his wife (Lady Macbeth) about what happened with the witches and to come back from the war that just happened. Possibly you were thinking of Act 2 Scene 2 where she is talking and he is stabbing Duncan.
In Act 2 of Macbeth, King Duncan is murdered by Macbeth in his sleep. Lady Macbeth also kills the two sleeping guards to frame them for the murder.
