Sometimes it is better not to say a word. Stay around that person, make he/she feel supported, do not leave him/her, because he/she needs you a lot.

Try to be understanding. Try to see what it would be like to be in their shoes. Say things like. :oh that sucks
Or I'm sorry. Or that must be hard. And give them support.

No specific you need to say, just be kind and caring. Be empathetic. Think about how you would like people to treat you if you were depressed.

tell them you are there for them whenever they need you, and ready to listen and help. Don't tell them to snap-out of it. They are more than just a mild sadness.

Remind them that you're there and they can talk to you if they want to, but never try to force someone with depression to tell you what they feel. Even small things like "I care about you," "You're not wrong in feeling this way" "It's not your fault, nobody blames you", and other things that show empathy and respect towards them will make a depressed person's day.

Tell them that life is not worth being sad, they have such a bright future but they need to see it, show them how lucky our lives are to be here, I mean we are perfectly angled to the sun to not burn up and not freeze, and they were born in a generation where "Anything is possible" became actually possible and is basically done

Try to be respectful, show compassion and remember that you cannot always control your actions so be forgiving and supportive,
