Can Aripiprazole Be Taken In Place Of Olanzapine?

My mother was prescribed this medication olanzapine 3-25mg caps. For bipolar. She changed insurance and this was no longer covered by her plan. Then she was prescribed aripiprazole 10mg. I was wondering if these were closely related in comparison to one another.
