He never goes insane!
But, before he was drafted for the Trojan war, Odysseus pretended to go insane so he could stay home with his wife and newborn son. He pretends to sow the seeds with salt, but is caught in the act when he saves his son from being run over by the plow. (The drafters placed Telemachus down in front of the plow to see if Odysseus truly was insane.)

How did Odysseus and Achilles tried to avoid going to war?
Odysseus pretended to be insane by planting salt in his fields. They caught him out because they placed his baby son, Telemachus, under the plow and Odysseus refused to run Telemachus over. Achilles actually dressed up as a girl. But when Odysseus, pretending to be a merchant, sold lots of things including a sword, only one "girl" picked up the sword. This was when the Achaeans knew that this girl was actually Achilles.

Why did Odysseus choose to go to war?
He didn't want to, but king Menelaos could persuade him. He was for only a short time home again with Penelope and his son, Telemachos, when king Menelaos came to Ithaka. Odysseus didn't want to go to war because his son was just born and acted as if he went insane. He took a plough to the beach and started sowing salt. Menelaos saw through his trick and lay Telemachos right before the plough. Odysseus saved his son and knew he had to 'surrender' now. Then king Menelaos managed to persuade Odysseus to go to war with him.
