'I've been caring for mum since I was 5'
Kelly is 17 and has been caring for her mother - who suffers from depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety and panic attacks - since she was 5 years old.

Kelly talks to the BBC about her daily routine, and how her schoolwork and social life have suffered as a result.
