You can try to make them laugh, but the best thing you can do is to just be there for them and let them know you care and love them. Depression is a very difficult thing to deal with.
Let them know you love them if they are a family member or loved one if they are a friend let them know you care and love them in a friend like way. Do stuff with them have a whoop it up great time, laugh a lot, watch funny movies, eat good snacks, NO DRUGS OR SMOKING!, Exercise do Yoga,dance, baseball, ping pong, soccer or whatever they like with them, let them know you care be with them and help them through it!
Exercise is good. But you should see a doctor if your symptoms have persisted for more than two weeks. You can't always pull yourself out alone.
take there mind off there troubles or let them be able to talk things out let the person vent out there frustration
First of all, get to your family doctor and have a frank talk with him or her. There are some wonderful drugs these days that can alleviate your symptoms. Then consider getting some therapy. You would be surprised how your life can be turned around for the better! Good luck.

I know a good physician, Jesus Christ.
first thing to do, is be a good friend, and lisen to the person who is feeling depressed, don't act like its no big deal. do not tell the person, that all they need is to get up and get out of the house, you will feel better, it doesn't work that way, second try and get them in to the doctor, as it is not just a mental problem it could be a imblance of the chemicals in the brain, that is causing it. and there are meds that will help. did your friend just lose a parent, brother, sister, ect. going threw a divorce, talking to them as much as they need, knowing someone really does care, will help
If you don't want them to take medicine there are herbal remedies, St. Johns Wort to name one
Exercise. What sort of exercise he/she love to do. Do it.
Fresh air is important.
