As the doctor hints, Spider-Man's inability to fully make use of his powers comes from a psychological obstacle - and as also hinted, (very heavily, in fact) Peter Parker no longer seems motivated to remain Spider-Man. This lapse in powers and enthusiasm eventually leads to the decision to discontinue Peter's role as Spider-Man. After then facing the guilt and shamefulness of a life without assuming responsibility, this momentary crisis reveals itself to be the deciding factor that Peter does indeed want to be Spider-Man and that he may not have any other choice. Inside, although he didn't fully understand it, this ailment was needed for Peter to resume his role as Spider-Man with a new ambition - which was in turn required for him to face the problems that affected his normal life as well.

P.S. According to Marvel Comics history- Spider-Man loses his powers if he is subjected to a flu-virus. This can be seen in Amazing Spider-Man issue 87, entitled "Unmasked at Last!" This was dated August 1970.
