Yes, and no, she was never diagnosed. One of the primary issues, when you're dealing with a narcissist, is that they will never accept it, and will not seek a diagnosis, and if by a chance they did, they will declare it null and void, because they know better.
Their behavior, however, will give you all your need to know.
There is no such thing as rehabilitation for a narcissist. If you're dealign with one, and this is a relationship, get out, it's never going to get better, and when push comes to shoves, it will always be about them.

@Blondie1977 Psychotherapy is the recommended course of action, but it all depends on how old the person is, and what caused the condition. In general, if you are a Narcissist, the purpose of Psychotherapy, is to get you to:
Accept and maintain real personal relationships and collaboration with co-workers
Recognize and accept your actual competence and potential so you can tolerate criticisms or failures
Increase your ability to understand and regulate your feelings
Understand and tolerate the impact of issues related to your self-esteem
Release your desire for unattainable goals and ideal conditions and gain an acceptance of what's attainable and what you can accomplish
One of the biggest mistake, people make in a relationship, is that they think they can change someone. You really can't. Especially a narcissist. If they "show" change, it's to appease, but they will resume their behavior, when it's convenient for them to do so.
