I don't think it's possible to prove Menma's existence anyway. The rational approach would always be to believe there's a scientific explanation for anything Menma can do, regardless of whether you know it or not.
And as we can plainly see in the ending to this episode, Menma doesn't want to have to go through the misery of trying to prove she's there. It's horrifyingly furstrating for her.
And in any case, proving her existence won't solve anything anyway. If they all simply got together just because Menma's ghost is telling them to, that would be forcing the issue. It wouldn't solve anything. The problems are all still there.
And Jinta doesn't want to prove her existence because a part of him still thinks she's a hallucination. He's probably thinking that atleast he's sane enough to realise it. If he starts accepting her as reality and ends up being wrong, that's going to be a massive blow to his sanity.
And ofcourse it may be terrible that Jinta is so depressed all the time, but there are clear reasons for it. After suffering the death of his best friend he also had to endure the more drawn out process of his mum dying all whilst he was still a child. And his dad's incredibly passive approach to parenting hasn't helped matters either. It's no wonder he's a shut in.
