Do something -- It usually doesn't matter what.
A card - Some candy - A hug - Take them to lunch - Talk to them - Listen when they talk -- Sometimes just being there, not saying or doing anything -- A phone call -- Just drop In- Get them out of the house - Go for a walk - Go to a movie - Get them a pet
There are so many ways -- JUST DON'T GIVE UP ON THE<

Tell them, "I am going to lift your spirit"
and then pick them up... Litterally.
You would be surprised what a stupid joke can do for someone who is totally down. Sometimes they need to experience the totally rediculous for them to snap out of it.
However, this only works after they have had at least a little time to deal with whatever major event has happened in thier lives.

Give them a big old bear hug and let them know they are not alone. And follow up on it so they know you care, even if it's just calling every day to say "hi, how's it going?" Maybe take them out to see a movie or go for walk or other exercise to raise serotonin levels.
If they seem depressed, they may need to see their doctor. Let them know it's okay to get medical help.

Its a wonderful question ..
How?
* give them them time
* listen to them
* tell them you care for them
* affirm their strengths and successes
* pray with and for them
* be a friend
To want to lift someone's spirit is a special calling and a great motive.

Depends on why it's down.
If it's confidence issue, say something encouraging.
If it's what you think of as a "petty" or minor issue, not related to anything in reality, then don't scoff, but try to say practical things that rebut it without sounding scornful.
If all else fails, smile.

They may need medical help. (medicine for depression) Especially if they are too low or not a strong enough person to pull themselves up at this time.
