However, educating women during pregnancy about postpartum blues may help to prepare them for these symptoms that are often unexpected and concerning in the setting of excitement and anticipation of a new baby. Mothers who develop postpartum blues often have significant shame or guilt for feelings of anxiety or depression during a time is expected to be joyful. It is important to reassure new parents that low mood symptoms after childbirth are common and transient. Obstetric providers may recommend that patients and their families prepare ahead of time to ensure the mother will have adequate support and rest after the delivery. Additionally, they should provide education and resources to family and friends about red flags of more severe perinatal psychiatric conditions that may develop, such as postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis. Treatment
Postpartum blues is a self-limited condition. Signs and symptoms are expected to resolve within two weeks of onset without any treatment. Nevertheless, there are a number of recommendations to help relieve symptoms, including:
Getting enough sleep
Taking time to relax and do activities that you enjoy
Asking for help from family and friends
Reaching out to other new parents
Avoiding alcohol and other drugs that may worsen mood symptoms
Reassurance that symptoms are very common and will resolve on their ownIf symptoms do not resolve within two weeks or if they interfere with functioning, individuals are encouraged to contact their healthcare provider.
Recent research suggests that specific social difficulties may be a result of impaired face processing. The unusual social behavior in childhood often resembles that of an autism spectrum disorder.Other characteristics sometimes associated with callosal disorders include seizures, spasticity, early feeding difficulties and/or gastric reflux, hearing impairments, abnormal head and facial features, and intellectual disability. Associated brain anomalies
Brain anomalies that can sometimes occur in syndromes that cause callosal disorders include:
Aplasia of the cerebellar vermis
Chiari malformation
Colpocephaly
Dandy–Walker syndrome
Holoprosencephaly
Hydrocephalus
Neuronal migration disorders such as grey matter heterotopia
Schizencephaly

Associated syndromes and conditions
Some syndromes that frequently include ACC are:
Acrocallosal syndrome
Aicardi syndrome
Andermann syndrome
Donnai–Barrow syndrome
Dwarfism
FG syndrome
L1CAM syndrome
Microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II
Mowat–Wilson syndrome
Oculocerebrocutaneous syndrome
Saal Bulas syndrome
Septo-optic dysplasia (optic nerve hypoplasia)
Shapiro syndrome
Vici syndromeSome conditions that can sometimes be associated with ACC or other callosal disorders include:
1p36 deletion syndrome
13q deletion syndrome
CDK13-related disorder
Craniofacial abnormalities and other oral and maxillofacial pathologies
Fetal alcohol syndrome
Fetal warfarin syndrome
Genitopatellar syndrome
Gomez-Lopez-Hernandez syndrome
Joubert syndrome
Lujan–Fryns syndrome
Marden–Walker syndrome
Maternal nutritional deficiencies or infections
Metabolic disorders
Okamoto syndrome
Opitz G/BBB syndrome
Pascual-Castroviejo syndrome
Pitt–Hopkins syndrome
Sensenbrenner syndrome
Strømme syndrome
Triploid syndrome
Trisomy 9
Xia-Gibbs syndrome

Causes
Agenesis of the corpus callosum is caused by disruption to development of the fetal brain between the 3rd and 12th weeks of pregnancy. In most cases, it is not possible to know what caused an individual to have ACC or another callosal disorder. However, research suggests that some possible causes may include chromosome errors, inherited genetic factors, prenatal infections or injuries, prenatal toxic exposures, structural blockage by cysts or other brain abnormalities and metabolic disorders.
