Am i a young carer?

If you spend a significant amount of time and/or effort looking after a family member then, yes, you are a young carer.

By that do u mean technically? Or my opinion

Like would ik if I am a young carer
Would a nurse tell me :s?

You need to get the family member to make an appointment with their GP, and you need to go with them as well. The GP will assess the family member's mental health condition, then if they think you are a young carer from the information you both provide, the GP will refer you to social services who will come to your house and do a social care assessment with both of you. The social worker will then officially tell you if you are a young carer or not, and they will offer you financial and social support.

It might be the case that the family member's needs are too severe for you to deal with, and in which case the social worker will give the family member a free external carer to come to your house a few times a day to care for that person, paid for by the council. Obviously if you don't live with this family member then the carer will go to the family member's house.

What if my family member that brought me up is suffering a chronic mental health like depression or anxiety etc..

and just recently stopped working
and me for example, i am 15

Does that make me a young carer ? if it is just us two living together
although i go school full time ?and don't actually care for this person because the mental health nurse comes ??

If you don't actively care for the person, you're just living with them, then no, I wouldn't think you're a carer...

Thanks for responding but maybe i have not made it clear.

I don't want peoples opinion.
I want to know if i am technically a young carer according to the law or whatever.

Or is it really just a person that physically cares for their parent/guardian

I think that if you live with somebody that is physically or mentally unwell and you actively care for them, then you would be classed as a young carer. Whereas if you're just living with somebody that is unwell, which I believe is your situation, then you're not technically a carer. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.

Kind of. Sometimes people come to help to motivate with activities.

One time my fam member psychiatrist came over to see me because i was young and told me info on meeting other people my age and stuff. She gave me leaflets of youth club.

IDK why she did
and that really made me feel like a young carer person
