What to say and do to encourage a depressed, chronically exhausted, chronically bitter and angry husband?

This is not accusatory, but merely a suggestion. 

I think that self-reflection and introspection are the first thing to be done. Use empathy. Put yourself in his shoes and ask yourself to what degree you are responsible for his depression, exhaustion, bitterness, and anger.

Sure, there are plenty of things around us that can prompt depression, exhaustion, bitterness, and anger. Many of those things are completely out of his control and your control, but you do have control of anything that you do.

So, first thing, reflect and fix any and every contribution of yours to your husband's state.

Just reading through the first few pages it seems that many women offer a litany of suggestions looking for outside explanations. Mold, B12, alpha gal, 15 types of "diet," even "male menopause" :facepalm:

I know that on the occasions that I get depressed, bitter, and angry, it is not just some vague passive male-time-of-the-month or vitamin deficiency or dietary tweak. It's because somebody else ain't acting right!  Got it?

They don't want to admit that men have feelings and stresses too.

Or admit that the wife is often the problem.
