He's talking about mental health. He was not trained to deal with people with mental problems like Lady Macbeth. "Minister to" means to help or care for; he says "therein the patient must help himself", the meaning of which must be clear.
"Minister" means to care for - that explains why some religious leaders are called Ministers, right?The doctor is saying that from here on out, the patient has to take care of himself.
He cannot cure lady macbeths malady

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."
From The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare MACBETH. Cure her of that. Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, Raze out the written troubles of the brain, And with some sweet oblivious antidote Cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff Which weighs upon the heart? DOCTOR. Therein the patient Must minister to himself.Elizabeth believed there was a connection between the body and the mind.

Macbeth was worried about Lady Macbeth because she had begun sleepwalking. Because of this development, he called for the doctor to check on her. The gentlewoman was the woman who attended on Lady Macbeth, and who showed the doctor where she could be found at night. Both watch the sleepwalking scene. Later, the doctor reports his findings to Macbeth. "She is troubled by thick-coming fancies that keep her from her rest." But he tells Macbeth that there is no medical answer for her problem; "Therein the patient must minister to himself."
